Two Nebraska newspapers are reporting that a new higher education institution is being organized with plans to occupy the former campus of Dana College in Blair, Nebraska.
Leeanna Ellis, of the Washington County Pilot-Tribune and Enterprise of Blair, reported in "New university may find home at Dana," that a group of friends and alumni of Grace University registered with the state to organize Charis University. Ellis notes that former Grace dean, Marv Overman, made the announcement.
The Omaha World-Herald published, "New universityregisters with the state, will take Grace's place on old Dana College campus," by Nancy Gaarder.
Grace University of Omaha announced its intention to relocate to the Dana campus and these plans were interrupted when Grace decided to close at the end of the current academic year. Now, the representatives of Charis University indicate they will be working to begin holding classes this fall.
The Lincoln Journal Star published "Christian school downsizes plan to move to Dana campus" on September 23, 2018. For now, the proposed Charis University plans to partner with the Illinois-based Trinity International University with classes in Omaha.
