Sander Flaum
As a person who stuttered, Sander committed his life to taking his stutter on directly and succeeding despite the disorder. Sander and his late wife Mechele dedicated their time and contribution to create the Flaum Center for Fluency Disorders and were supporters of the OSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic for over a decade. Sander’s relationship with OSU began in 1954, when he attended for his undergraduate education and later graduated with his bachelor’s degree. He completed his M.B.A. at Fairleigh Dickenson University and built an incredibly impressive career as a mentor, coach, consultant and best-selling author. Throughout his life, Sander continued to give back to OSU as an advocate, volunteer and donor. Sander held positions on the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Advisory Council, Fisher College of Business Dean’s Advisory Council, James Hospital Foundation Board and Buckeye Leadership Fellows Advisory Committee.
