We salute the Maryville nursing community, including our nursing alumni, students and educators around the world and across every nursing discipline. For more than two years, you’ve been working tirelessly in very difficult conditions to care for our society. Your bravery, your empathy and your grit is awe-inspiring.
All of Maryville University salutes you. We are proud to award the Myrtle E. and Earl E. Walker Medal to all nursing alumni, students and educators. The WalkerMedal recognizes outstanding contributions or achievement in the field of Health and Wellness.
In April, President Mark Lombardi, PhD, presented the Walker Medal to the entire Maryville nursing community during the 2022 Nurse Pinning Ceremony. That medal is now
on display in the lobby of Myrtle E. and Earl E. Walker Hall. Additionally, each member of the Maryville nursing community received a special Walker Medal lapel pin. An engraving was also added to the Visionary Leaders Wall on the Gander Quad to honor the Maryville nursing community and recognize those who have made significant personal impact on the University.
