Doris L. Flournoy (BA ’44) was a proud and loyal alumna of The University of Tulsa who went on to earn a graduate degree at Northwestern University. She enjoyed a successful and fulfilling career in publishing, working as the editor of Industrial Hygiene in Chicago and as managing editor and publisher of the Journal of Occupational Medicine from 1959 until her retirement in 1986. She also published her own bi-monthly newsletter.
Flournoy deeply valued the quality education she received at The University of Tulsa and wished to support academic excellence in the Collins College of Business. She arranged a generous estate gift to The University of Tulsa. Following her passing in 2011, The Doris L. Flournoy Trust made a gift to The University of Tulsa to establish The Doris L. Flournoy Endowed Professorship in Business.
