Joel Fleishman, founder of the Sanford School of Public Policy and namesake of the Fleishman House, is remembered as a visionary who played a transformational role in Duke’s development. “Joel lived life as fully as one can live a life, he created a model for how to live life and he set an example for all of us who were lucky enough to be part of his life,” said Shane Stansbury, Trinity ‘95, Robinson Everett Fellow and senior lecturing fellow at Duke Law School, who was once a student in Fleishman’s seminar. Through his work with the Sanford, raising funds for the University and support for the Duke and Durham Jewish communities, Fleishman managed to touch the lives of so many, seeking out and maintaining connections with everyone he met.
