The Exit Interview: A Fond Farewell to Purchase College President Thomas J. Schwarz
Share
After 18 years — that’s a full college freshman, in matriculating terms — Purchase College President Thomas J. Schwarz is stepping down from his role as leader of the artistically inclined local university.
While he’ll still be sticking around to help shepherd several major campus projects that have been launched under his tenure, we knew we wanted to sit down and conduct our own exit interview with Schwarz to discuss his tenure and the future of Purchase (and to see if we could get him to sign our yearbook.)
When you first came to Purchase College during the 2001-2002 term, the school was in the midst of a financial crisis — endowments were down to about $35 million — and both students and administrators were a bit disenchanted with school operations.
