THOMAS LIPPINCOTT RETIRES FROM DANA
BOARD OF REGENTS
Corporate president/CEO served
for 12 years
Thomas Lippincott of Blair retired from the Board
of Regents of Dana College recently, after serving for 12 years.
The Board is elected to set the strategic direction
and policy of Dana, set goals and long-range plans, insure financial
solvency and provide tools to the administration to enable the administration
to manage the institution.
A 1955 graduate of Blair High School, Lippincott went
on to become owner and president of Nebraska Iowa Supply and Kopper
Kettle Inc.
Other retirees from the Board of Regents were Dr.
Paul H. Laursen of Lincoln, the Rev. Carl F. Schattauer of Omaha,
and Dr. Rodney Wead of St. Louis.
Lippincott’s other achievements include serving
as president of the Nebraska Petroleum Marketers Association, the
Omaha Oilmens Club and First Lutheran Church. He is also a former
member of the Blair Kiwanis Club and the Blair Chamber of Commerce
Board.
“This group of Board members have been a joy
to work with,” said Dr. Myrvin F. Christopherson, president
of Dana College. “They love Dana. They have exercised good
judgment, and have been willing to take risks to assure that Dana
grows in quality of services, facilities, and people. We shall miss
them. Happily, they have all been voted emeritus status by their
colleagues so they will continue to serve Dana in an advisory capacity
as they are able for many years to come.”
Dana College is a private, liberal arts institution
that currently enrolls approximately 600 students. The campus is
located on 150 acres overlooking the Missouri River Valley in Blair,
Neb. Dana grants bachelor’s degrees in more than 20 liberal
arts, business, education and pre-professional programs, with an
