Linda Schwartz, associate research scientist at the School of Nursing, received the 2000 Chapel of Four Chaplains Humanitarian Award at a Sept. 17 ceremony sponsored by Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). The award recognizes individuals who encourage cooperation and selfless service among all people. A national spokesperson on behalf of veterans' issues, Schwartz chairs VVA's National Veterans Health Care Task Force, helped create the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Women Veterans and served as a regional coordinator for the Vietnam Women's Project. She also co-founded Project Friendship, a non-profit organization that helps veterans with housing and employment, and is past president of the Vietnam Veterans Assistance Fund.
