— Tucked away on a hillside in Blair, the Dana College campus sat vacant for the better part of 15 years.
“We have faith now that our shining college on a hill is going to have a strong future,” said Sandra Jensen, who leads the Dana College Alumni & Friends Association.
Dana’s closureBob Coffey, president of the still-operating Dana College Foundation and who served on the college’s Board of Regents in 2010, said the regents knew the college was in financial trouble.
Coffey was the second generation in his family to attend Dana College, and started his schooling there 55 years ago.
Many quickly become homeless, she said, if their foster family is unable or unwilling to continue caring for them.
