The Schreyers
William A. (Class of 1948) and Joan L. Schreyer have been longtime loyal benefactors of Penn State. Their goal is to implement the vision shared by President Graham Spanier — to attract gifted students, provide them with a rich honors education, inspire them, and help open their eyes to global opportunities and civic and social responsibilities. The Schreyers have demonstrated their commitment to undergraduate education by first establishing the Schreyer Institute for Innovation in Learning, and in September of 1997, announcing a gift to create an honors college at the University. The Schreyer Honors College enlarges and transforms the highly successful University Scholars Program into a multidisciplinary center of undergraduate academic excellence. Through their generosity and support, Penn State can provide extraordinary opportunities to highly motivated students with exceptional talents, helping the University to advance undergraduate education.
Mr. Schreyer is a past president of Penn State's Board of Trustees as well as the past chairman of Merrill Lynch.
