Education Advisory 
Committee.
“In high school and col-
lege, I was very fortunate to 
have a lot of people take me 
under their wing and show 
me the ropes and give me 
advice,” Dizik said. “It was 
important to me to be able 
to continue to do that and 
work with students and be 
an asset for them.”
As an alumnus of Central 
Michigan University, Dizik 
and his wife, Emily, are 
starting a scholarship with a 

primary focus for students 
who are interested in sports 
media. Dizik felt that a 
scholarship would present 
the best opportunities for 
students to focus on tak-
ing advantage of the all the 
activities that the university 
offers while cutting the cost 
of classes.
Dizik has been able to find 
his niche in the sports media 
industry and is committed to 
giving back to younger gen-
erations who also have big 
dreams.

Dr. David A. Tenenbaum is a civilian mechanical 
engineer who worked for the Army at the TACOM base 
in Warren, Mich. In 1997, after years of anti-Jewish 
workplace harassment, he was falsely accused of 
being an Israeli spy by a known anti-Semite and several 
other anti-Semitic coworkers. The FBI conducted a 
full-scale criminal investigation of Tenenbaum and his 
family. Months of interrogation and psychological abuse 
resulted in an official report that there was no evidence Tenenbaum had 
ever done anything wrong. His book, Accused of Treason: The US Army’
s 
Witch Hunt For A Jewish Spy, is now available through Amazon.
