LORI STROHM TO TAKE OVER SPECIAL EVENTS AND CONFERENCES AT DANA

Former Fort Calhoun gifted teacher wants to bring more educational opportunities to Blair

Dana College is proud to announce that it has hired Lori Strohm to fill the newly created position of special event and conference services coordinator.

Strohm, who comes to Dana after serving as Fort Calhoun School’s high ability learner coordinator, began work at Dana on Aug. 15. Her duties will include planning and executing the college’s special events, such as Sights & Sounds of Christmas, Arbor Day and Commencement, and increasing and managing the college’s efforts to attract more conferences and outside groups to campus.

“I think there are many opportunities for local groups to take advantage of Dana’s beautiful campus,” Strohm said. “Dana is blessed with beautiful surroundings, wonderful food services and great facilities and technology. Best of all, we are very flexible, so nearly anything can be accomplished.”

She said she hopes to use her background in education to expand the kinds of groups that use Dana’s facilities and grounds for events, reunions and retreats. With available housing and up-to-date facilities that can easily house groups as small as 20 and as large as 1,000, Dana is perfectly situated to expand into this area.

Strohm said she also hopes to build relationships with the Blair business community. She has already started a list of people she would like to speak to about cooperation and encourages anyone with ideas to contact her.

“Just give me a call,” she said. “I’m ready to listen. We have the goal of trying to make what the Blair community wants and needs from us happen.”

Strohm can be reached at (402) 426-7387 or lstrohm@dana.edu.
