Marilyn Schultz was a professor at St.
Edwards until her death in 2010. Schultz
was a successful broadcast journalist and
was remembered for having fought for
women’s rights in the field of journalism
throughout her career. Schultz has recently
received a posthumous award from her alma
mater, Indiana University, naming her as an
outstanding alumnus.
Schultz graduated from IU with a.bachelor’s
degree in radio and television in 1967, a
master’s in telecommunication in 1990 and
a doctorate in mass communication in 1993.
Billy Earnest is an assistant professor of
communication here at St. Edward's and
names Schultz as his mentor.
“She was a force of nature — magnetic, fun,
and feisty all at the same time,” Earnest said.
The two met when Earnest first interviewed
for a position on the SEU communication
faculty in the spring of 2005.
Schultz worked at NBC News in New York
City for nine years. She was also a professor
of communication at St. Edward’s, and acted
as an Area Coordinator (the equivalent to
a department chair) of the communication
such as the 1972 election, the Apollo 12
launch, Watergate and the Mike Tyson and
Ryan White case before going on to teach,
first at the University of Texas then at St.
Edward’s.
