Founder Jerry Schubert's Amazing Story

The Performing and Fine Arts Department at DeSales University is the result of one man and an extraordinary vision. What gift enables a person to see possibilities and turn them into a realized dream? Whatever that gift, there can be no doubt the Father Jerry Schubert was so blessed, when, over thirty years ago, he envisioned a thriving arts education complex in the heart of Center Valley.
