Schwartz has also been named an advisor to the JED Foundation, an organization that focuses on preventing suicide and reducing emotional distress in college students, and appointed to the New York City Higher Education Taskforce on Student Wellness and Anti-Bullying. At JED he will be part of a committee to ensure a national standard of student services and support on college campuses. The NYC Taskforce, formed by Councilwoman Christine Quinn in response to a suicide at Rutgers last year, examines mental health concerns and university student affairs administration across New York City.
