DANA TO HOLD OPENING CONVOCATION

Present and future plans of Dana to be
presented
Dana College will hold its annual Opening Convocation
at 9 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 31, in the Lauritzen Theatre of the Madsen
Fine Arts Center. The event is free, and the public is invited to
attend.
President Myrvin Christopherson will open the year
by installing Student Senate leaders and introducing the theme of
the college’s New Student Orientation, “Dana: A Community
of Respect.” Provost and Dean of the College Brian Viets will
introduce new faculty and recognize faculty and staff who have earned

of Regents, will share the Board’s vision for the future of
Dana College. Dr. John Lyden, professor of religion, will speak
on Dana’s mission as a liberal arts Lutheran institution.
Dana College is a place where all students actively
participate. They make things happen — in their own lives
and in the lives of others. Through a highly supportive faculty
and campus community, Dana students develop interpersonal skills,
leadership abilities, and other important values and knowledge as
they make choices about their future. Dana’s outstanding academic
programs in business, education, art and social work, among others,
ensure that students have the knowledge, skills and experience necessary
to pursue challenging careers or placement in graduate school.
Dana College is a private, liberal arts institution
in Blair, Neb. To learn more, visit www.dana.edu.
Dana College: Develop talents,
Take charge, Build a future — We’re with you all the
way.
