“She knew how to ask very pointed questions,” he said. It was possible to see rough edges on Schwartz - her background in journalism gave her an ability to see beyond the superficial, which Evans said had the potential to be taken the wrong way. They developed a close friendship after working with one another, which allowed Evans to gain deep insights into the ways Schwartz operated and influenced those around her. Evans is now the center’s director of operations. “If she wanted to do something, she would do it.”Įvans and Schwartz would both go on to work at Justa Center, a non-profit designed to help homeless seniors in the Phoenix area. “She was not afraid to do things on her own,” Evans said. In 2010, Schwartz met a man by the name of Franklin Evans while volunteering for Career Connectors, developing resumes for individuals who had been affected by the recent economic downturn.Įvans echoed Lussier’s sentiments and said Schwartz often did things on her own that most people would want to do with others. Those close to Schwartz knew her not just for her work in the classroom, but also for her charity work. “We also shared a tendency to do a lot of that alone.” “We both share that sense of moving out into nature as a way of recharging,” he said.
Schwartz often went camping and hiking to decompress from a busy semester, Lussier said. Lussier said Schwartz was teaching four courses during the spring semester - a busy workload.
