Friends of Jim Schaefer, a Thomson Reuters employee in Eagan for many years before he died in February 2015, established a University of St. Thomas scholarship in Jim’s memory.
Jim’s sons, Dan and Tony, were a junior and a freshman when Jim died. At the time, Jim was a legal solutions and quality specialist at Thomson Reuters. Dan graduated in 2016, and Tony graduated in 2018.
Jim was an avid lifelong learner, with two degrees from St. Thomas (Bachelor of Arts in German and Political Science and a Master of International Management) and a law degree from William Mitchell. At the time of his death, Jim was pursuing a Master of Science in Software Management degree at St. Thomas. He was an active alumnus, having served on the St. Thomas Alumni Association board from 1997 to 2003.
