In honor of the generous scholarship support provided by longtime St. Louisans Robert and Joan Luttig Schoor, 91制片厂 has named The Robert E. Schoor and Joan Luttig Schoor Undergraduate Nursing Program. Amid the nation\u2019s urgent need for qualified nurses to join the healthcare workforce, their commitment to 91制片厂\u2019s McAuley School of Nursing<\/a> is timely and consequential.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Schoors are an example of how the combination of passion for education and great healthcare creates the vision and courage to make good things happen,\u201d said Mark Lombardi, PhD, president of 91制片厂.<\/p>\n

The alarm regarding the U.S. nursing shortage is well-founded. Over the next 30 years, the number of people ages 65 and older is expected to reach nearly 84 million\u2014double the number of the older adult population in 2012\u2014which means an increased need for geriatric healthcare, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor. The federal government also projects the total number of job openings for nurses due to growth and replacements will exceed one million over the next six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Schoors\u2019 generosity we will be able to educate the next generation of outstanding nurses,\u201d said Charles J. Gulas, PhD, dean of the Walker College of Health Professions. \u201cThe Schoors will enable talented students for years to come to pursue a Maryville nursing education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the past six years, the Schoors have donated to the building campaign for Walker Hall, home to Maryville\u2019s College of Health Professions, and have provided scholarship support. In 2017, the couple announced a $20,000 matching gift to the University, with funds directed to Maryville\u2019s Cyber Fusion Center, the Habitat for Humanity Fund and the Robert Schoor and Joan Luttig Schoor Annual Scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe generosity of Robert and Joan Luttig Schoor means the world to the nursing students of the undergraduate program that now bears their names,\u201d said Geralyn Frandsen, EdD, RN, director of Maryville\u2019s undergraduate nursing program. \u201cTheir generosity will allow the delivery of high quality nursing care for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
