He's an advocate for suicide prevention, foster care services, and HIV/AIDS research.

During the 2018–2019 school year he served as the faculty director for Columbia University’s Career Design Lab in San Francisco, an innovative West Coast presence for Columbia. Schramm holds his Ed.D. in higher education leadership from the University of Pennsylvania, his MBA from NYU’s Stern School of Business, and his BFA in theater from Emporia State University in Kansas.
