Schneider, an adjunct associate professor, joined the BC economics faculty in 1982 after receiving her PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1980. Her old gold academic gown graced many BC commencement exercises through the years. She has taught principles of economics in the large section format, public finance, micro theory, transportation economics, mathematical economics and an innovative course on economics and Catholic social teaching. For the past several years, she has served the department as assistant chair and director of the undergraduate program, working tirelessly to bring reforms to that program in the face of ever-growing enrollments and major declarations. She has also served as advisor to Omicron Delta Epsilon, the national honor society, and as the founding sponsor of the BC Equestrian Club.
