CANTON, Mo. — Culver-Stockton College (C-SC) will welcome Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz to campus Wednesday, Feb. 18 for a special presentation examining ethics, innovation, and integrity in the healthcare and technology industries. Shultz will speak from 11:40 a.m.–12:40 p.m. in Meaders Lounge in the Gladys Crown Student Center. His presentation is free and open to the public and is funded through the C-SC Moorman Professorship Grant.

At just 22 years old and fresh out of college, Shultz joined Theranos, a Silicon Valley startup once hailed as “the Apple of healthcare.” The company promised to revolutionize blood testing, raising nearly $1 billion in funding, achieving a $9 billion valuation, and assembling a high-profile board that included former secretaries of state and defense, U.S. senators, and military leaders.

Not long after arriving, Shultz began uncovering serious ethical and regulatory concerns behind the organization’s widely celebrated public image. What he discovered ultimately led him to become a key whistleblower in exposing fraudulent practices within Theranos, helping bring to light one of the most significant corporate fraud cases in the U.S. since Enron. His actions contributed to the company’s collapse and the criminal convictions of its top executives.
