Abby Schachter, Co-Lead

Abby W. Schachter is the military programs and research manager at Carnegie Mellon University’s Institute for Politics and Strategy.

CMU hosts an annual cohort of senior military fellows who come to the university to learn, do research and improve their skills for their future assignments and commands. One part of Abby's job is making sure the fellowship year is productive and useful to each of the fellows. Her job has brought her into close professional contact with active military service members, veterans, ROTC cadets, midshipmen and military leaders. In all cases, it is Abby's privilege to bridge the civilian-military divide and to endeavor to serve the military community at CMU with respect and enthusiasm. Abby is a naturalized U.S. citizen and as such, she is grateful to be able to support the growth and strength of all of CMU's military service members.

Abby is raising four children with her husband Ben Schachter in Pittsburgh's Regent Square neighborhood. She is the author ofNo Child Left Alone: Getting the Government out of Parenting.
