The Maryville community mourns the loss of Robert E. Schoor, a longtime friend and supporter of the University. Schoor served in the U.S. Air Force before pursuing a lengthy career in investment banking. Later, he turned his talents to philanthropy. Schoor and his wife, Joan Luttig Schoor, enabled many talented students to pursue a Maryville nursing education. Over the years, they provided support for Myrtle E. and Earl E. Walker Hall, the home of Maryville’s Myrtle E. and Earl E. Walker College of Health Professions, as well as for the Robert E. Schoor and Joan Luttig Schoor Scholarship. In 2018, Maryville University named The Robert E. Schoor and Joan Luttig Schoor Undergraduate Nursing Program in honor of their generosity.
