Michael Schimmel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Schimmel was an honorary trustee of Pace University from 1967 until his death in 1981.
Over the years, Schimmel made various donations to the University to be used by a variety of departments. When One Pace Plaza was being built in the 60s, there was a capital campaign; one benefactor, Schimmel, donated most of the money for the theater. The Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University in New York City is named after him; it is also interesting to note that New York University has a Schimmel Auditorium.
