George Schneider, M65 and Patricia Schneider, J63
If you ask George Schneider, M65, A90P, what his favorite memory of Tufts is, he’ll say it was meeting and marrying his wife, Patricia, J63, A90P. The Schneiders met while he was completing his undergraduate degree at Harvard and she was a freshman at Tufts. Drawn to its academic offerings, George also chose to attend TUSM to stay close to Patricia, and they married during his final year. Twenty-six years later, their son Andrew graduated from Tufts, following in the footsteps of his parents, as well as Patricia’s father and sister.
Today, the Schneiders reside in Livingston, NJ, where George teaches part time after retiring from his endocrine practice, and Patricia works as a travel agent. Crediting a large part of their success to their educations, they recently set up a charitable remainder unitrust at Tufts to benefit the medical school. Their gift provides them with current income and tax benefits and will support future medical students through the Clinical Education Fund and the George and Patricia Schneider Endowed Scholarship Fund.
