The Society of Rogerian Scholars (SRS) evolved out of a passion for learning about the Science of Unitary Human Beings experienced by those who were educated by Martha E. Rogers at New York University (NYU) and mentored when gathering in her apartment in New York City. In 1986, in Martha Rogers’s living room, the Society of Rogerian Scholars was born. The mission statement of the SRS states the purpose and philosophy of the Society is “to foster the development of the Science of Unitary Human Beings by providing a formal, organized structure for the stimulation, development and exchange of ideas. As an international organization, it provides avenues for nurses to network and grown in their understanding and application of Martha Rogers’s philosophy and science.
