In The News
Current
Following the completion of two national
grassroots humanitarian projects across the United States in 1990 and
1993, Stephen M. Apatow founded the nonprofit organization Humanitarian Resource Institute
in 1994 to serve as "a bridge for unmet needs to untapped resources," via
optimization of problem solving and analysis, development of effective communication
networks that reach key decision makers in appropriate demographics and real
time communication capability to support dialogue, consensus building and
action.*
Today, the Humanitarian
University Consortium serves as (1) an international community of scholars,
(2) a bridge between Humanitarian Resource Institute and the international
academic community, (3) a think tank in support of the United Nations programs
and (4) the promotion of higher learning through both traditional and distance
education.
He is also coordinated the formation of SMAMedia Communications,
Pathobiologics International, Sports Medicine & Science
Institute, and JudoSport International, entities that he continues consultancy work in research and
development.
Member: American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), in support of ASCAP, BMI & SESAC collaboration.
* Following
the formation of Humanitarian Resource Institute in 1994, global humanitarian needs prompted his return to
concentrated studies in the fields of medicine, veterinary medicine and law, with requests for permission to sit United
States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), the North American Veterinary Licensing
Exam (NAVLE) and Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) in 2002.
