Michael Weishan (born 7 August in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American author, designer, popular historian and former television personality.
Among these, he is a member of the Adams House Senior Common Room at Harvard, where he is founding executive director of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Foundation, an organization that has completed the restoration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's student rooms – the FDR Suite at Adams House, Harvard University.
The Foundation has restored the Suite to its original 1903 appearance[3] as a memorial to the 32nd president of the United States, which is the only one at Harvard.
In addition, the FDR Foundation sponsors a host of educational activities, including the annual Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial lecture at Adams House; and an intensive undergraduate summer internship program, The Roosevelt Scholars, which promotes study and research opportunities for first-generation, lower income students at Harvard.
The Foundation is also home to a think-tank, The FDR Center for Global Engagement, which seeks practical solutions to real-world problems of climate change, governance, and social justice.
