MARC JULIUS, '63
Named in memory of Marc Julius's parents, the Dezso and Fanny Julius Scholars Fund directly addresses the underrepresentation of women in STEM. It was Marc’s wish to leave a legacy to honor the lesson his parents taught him about the power of resilience and the importance of education and overcoming obstacles.
Marc Julius graduated FSU Magna Cum Laude in 1963 with a double major in chemistry and microbiology, He was inspired in part by his observation throughout his career, including time as CEO of a successful health care consulting firm, that women were not always well-represented in STEM-related fields.
The Dezso and Fanny Julius Scholars Fund provides scholarships to eligible students who are expected to engage in supervised, independent research.
