“He has been an extraordinary partner to this institution,” President Harvey Kesselman said. “Not only has he supported the Stockton University Foundation for more than 15 years, but he has led several philanthropic initiatives at Stockton, including the establishment of the Sam Azeez Museum of Woodbine Heritage.”
In 2011, Azeez gifted the Woodbine museum and $5 million toward its support to the university. He is also actively involved in the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton.
“Because of his efforts and partnership with this institution, Stockton can share the lessons of the Holocaust with our students and community to continue to honor, remember and educate,” Kesselman said.
