Samuel Luther ’25
Flynn Oncology Fellowship
Yale Smilow Cancer Hospital
A NATURAL CHOICE
The son of Saint Anselm graduates, Samuel Luther ’25 chose the nursing major “because I wanted something that wouldn’t lock me into one career. With nursing, you can do many things.”
He has embraced opportunities to work in different clinical settings, including a psychiatric hospital, a stint leading a “Bodies in Motion Class” for nuns at St. Joseph Residence, and a Costa Rican clinic providing care to a community with limited resources. Luther also earned a 2024 summer Flynn Fellowship at Yale Smilow Cancer Hospital, where he added hands-on experiences in oncology nursing, cancer research, and more.
“Oncology is an exciting field because it’s truly cutting-edge,” he says.
The Jean School of Nursing and Health Sciences will enhance Saint Anselm’s strong nursing program, he says. “With the new labs, students will benefit from even more realistic patient care simulations as they’re building knowledge, skills, and confidence.”
