Doris Fischer Malesardi '64 (right) and her stepdaughter Jill Malesardi stand in front of a memorial for Robert Malesardi, placed inside the entrance of the Malesardi House, Home of the President.
The President’s Home was renamed The Malesardi House, Home of the President to honor alumna Doris Fischer Malesardi ’64 LHD ’17, her late husband Robert Malesardi, and their combined generosity and commitment to Elmira College.
At a recent dedication ceremony, Elmira College President Dr. John F. Dolan shared how the president’s home embodies the spirit of the Malesardis.
"The President’s Home has long served as a gathering place for moments big and small,” he said. “The Malesardi House guest book will capture the many ways the Malesardis’ vision of bringing people together continues to shape life at Elmira College."
Doris Malesardi is Secretary of the Elmira College Board of Trustees. Through their longtime support of the College, Doris and Robert Malesardi expanded educational opportunities for students. In 2014, they gave the College its largest donation to build the Doris Fischer ’64 and Robert Malesardi Finance Trading Room in the Gannett-Tripp Library. Designed for Finance majors, it is equipped with dual-monitor computer stations, a live-running stock ticker, and facilitates live trading simulations.
In 2014, Doris (center right) and Bob Malesardi (center left) unveiled the newly completed Doris Fischer ’64 and Robert Malesardi Finance Trading Room.
In 2017, in recognition of Doris Malesardi’s enduring support of the College, she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. In 2025, she received a similar honor from Bucknell University, which was Robert Malesardi’s alma mater. The couple loved both institutions and contributed financially to endowments and scholarships so that both schools could be more affordable to students.
“Their work together has left an indelible mark on numerous educational and non-profit communities,” said Dolan. “Consistent in their service and support is their commitment to expanding opportunities for young people. They have changed thousands of lives over their years. The Malesardis’ personal mission reflects the best of what it means to be part of a world where greatness is achieved by caring.”
