As an administrator, Schulz has been actively involved in the recruiting and retaining women in 1xbet online casino , faculty development and the encouragement of international experiences in education. She has initiated faculty networks for women at two universities and served as the director of faculty development and women in 1xbet online casino at Mississippi State for several years.

Her teaching interests include power systems, energy conversion, application of computer programs to power 1xbet online casino , application of intelligent systems to 1xbet online casino problems, fundamentals of electrical circuits, renewable and distributed generation and smart grid technologies.

Schulz has received a number of awards and belongs to the American Society for 1xbet online casino Education and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

She holds a bachelor's and master's degree in electrical 1xbet online casino , both from Virginia Tech, and a Ph.D. in electrical 1xbet online casino from the University of Minnesota.
