Building the Vision: Patricia and Robert Lawrence and Barbara and Donald Jonas lead the way with gifts towards the Versailles campus With the close on the Versailles property official in October 2017, Frontier supporters begin to offer their financial support to see the campus renovations and designs completed. Ahead of the launch of a capital campaign, Frontier’s board members, volunteers, and closest supporters will lead the way in providing the support needed for the campus. “My husband and I made a contribution to the new campus for Frontier Nursing University with the greatest of pleasure. We have been most impressed with the way the University has adapted to today’s technology and set in motion plans to insure the educational goals of students across the country. We are impressed and proud of the many accomplishments of Frontier Nursing University and believe Mary Breckinridge would be equally proud and impressed!” – Patricia (Courier 1946) and Robert Lawrence – Donors to the Labor and Delivery Room (LDR) Birthing Simulation Room in the Academic Center

“When Barbara and I learned that Frontier Nursing University was expanding its campus to Versailles, we wanted to continue our support for their incredible work in nursing and midwifery education and leadership,” said Donald Jonas, Co-founder and President of Jonas Philanthropies. “To date, 10 of our Jonas Scholars who work to improve healthcare for the most vulnerable have graduated from Frontier. We’re inspired by their work and hope the new birthing simulation facility will provide a meaningful, engaging learning experience for students and staff for years to come.”
