Senior instructor of economics and business, Richard Schott, MBA, received a standing ovation as he accepted the Edward R. Gilbert Annual Pride Award at last year’s Faculty and Staff Appreciation and Recognition Luncheon.
“It was really special to me because I knew Ed Gilbert,” Schott says. “I used to work with him over in Teel Hall, and I knew he was a person with a good heart.”
Though the pipe-smoking, motorcycle-riding, licensed barber has been bringing fresh ideas and real-world stories to Albright business students for 25 years — Schott never actually intended to become a teacher.
