A former member of the UB Alumni Association Board of Directors, Schwartzkopf has been a generous host of a number of "Dinner for 12 Strangers" events held for alumni and students from the School of Management.
He took responsibility for all event logistics, including organizing and inviting attendees, diligent planning and follow-up for dinners held in Virginia, Maryland and on campus.
