Jacqueline and Russell Pomeranz ITM Scholarship Application


In memory of Jacqueline Pomeranz (mother of Russell, husband of Prof. Christine Pomeranz’s). Ms. Pomeranz was a career counselor at a community college in Cleveland, Ohio, guiding students to pursue professional paths according to their natural talents, studies, and aspirations. Her last decade was spent at her retirement community, interviewing co-residents at the local radio station, welcoming new members, and selecting undergraduate scholars with compelling stories. A lifelong athlete in biking, tennis, weight lifting and steps climbing daily, she also enjoyed politics, education, and classical music.

Mr. Pomeranz was an accomplished non-profit expert, who mentored executives in connecting finance and assets to mission. He was a published author of peer-reviewed essays, a frequent public speaker on the philanthropic circuit, and headed many community organizations. A consummate cricket player with equally admirable skills in tennis, basketball, softball, and other sports, he was praised for his wit, smarts, winning smile, and talent for lending levity to serious negotiations.

With donations from various donors to honor the life of the Pomeranzes, this fund finances one scholarship of at least $1,000.
