Focusing on Chicago's South Side: Ward College Plans to Open in the Fall

WGN-TV in Chicago features reporting by Amy Rutledge with an interview of Daniel Geiter who, along with others, is working to open Ward College this fall. Ward College will initially operate out of the Chicago Theological Seminary at the University of Chicago and the institution will focus on providing certificate programs and an A.A. degree on the south side of Chicago.

The Elijah Glenn Ward Family Foundation and Catalyst Educational Research Center, Inc. have joined together to create Ward College. A GoFundMe page has also been created as a way to raise startup funds.

Small higher education institutions will be the primary focus of the Small College Garden. It will also highlight small college towns.

There is a Small College Garden group for those who would like to join discussion and share information through Facebook.

I will typically be posting links to newspaper articles and other information on institutions with fewer than 2,500 students or college towns with populations less than 25,000. I look forward to receiving your comments, suggestions or links to relevant resources!!

I maintain several blogs as a hobby and encourage you to check out the College History Garden for posts on colleges that have closed, merged, or changed names.
