Description

eng Mary and Art Schuman are two of the most passionate members of the Center for Jewish Studies advisory board and became involved early on. They have been strong supporters of the program, contributing whatever way they can, financially or otherwise. They created the Art and Mary Schuman Endowment for Jewish Studies Lectures and Performances, and they also sponsor an annual lecture series on Eastern's campus. In Fall 2024 with the first-floor renovation of Halle Library and dedication of the Center's new space, the Schumans were honored with a plaque recognizing their dedication. In this interview, Art and Mary each talk about their different upbringings, the meeting where Art first heard about the plans for CJS, and why it's so important to them.
