The Campus Y celebrates the life of Joel Joseph Schwartz. Schwartz served on the Campus Y advisory board, and, along with his wife Myrna, was a longtime friend to the Campus Y. The Y has received generous support through the Joel and Myrna Schwartz Fund. Throughout his adult life, in both his professional and personal activities, Joel was a passionate advocate for those who were marginalized by society, bringing attention to their challenges through his teaching and service. He also honored those who helped his immigrant ancestors when they came to the United States as refugees by working to assist refugees who arrived to our shores during his lifetime. Read more here.

Schultz’s career took him from quarterbacking at a Minnesota college to national radio and television, including hosting “The Ed Show” on MSNBC. Read more here.
