I hope you will take the time to visit our campus. We began a beautification effort several years ago and have enhanced the scenery of our campus with lush shrubs, lawns, and reflective areas on campus. Our Ketcham Center is the home of our competitive sports programs, but also provides you a membership ensuring an active lifestyle while on campus. We began classes in Cross Hall in January, 2010 and offer advanced Allied Health technology throughout this beautiful new building. Plans have been finalized and we will break ground for our new agricultural campus on 130 acres this spring. Historic Geyer Hall still anchors our campus and will receive significant renovations over the next three years. Come join the excitement! Let us help you achieve your goals and build a brighter future.
