so sad & angry...

i found out tonight, like many other alumni, that Dana College was not approved for accreditation after its buyout attempt...and, after being told that today, the board of regents decided that the college would be closing -- now -- there is no 2010-2011 college year at Dana anymore...i am guessing we will be hearing and learning more in the coming days, but this is such a sad time...

i made many of my best friends at dana...i learned so much there that i use regularly...i experienced things i never thought i would have the chance to -- and gained the courage to go off and do more...dana has always been a part of my life -- my parents met there & graduated from there in 1964 (2 days after they got married, in fact)...

the urge to drive to blair and just sit on the hill is very strong right now -- this makes me miss nebraska -- maybe i will have to road trip soon for one last hoorah...



Oh, hail, fair Dana, hail to thee; though time thy walls may claim, thy spirit live another throng; rise up and sing your song.
Dana College, 1884-2010
