It's official, the new Antioch starts this Friday

Great Lakes Colleges Association Press Release dated Sept. 2:

On this Friday, September 4, the final documents establishing a fully independent Antioch College will be signed by representatives of Antioch University and the Antioch College Continuation Corporation. The agreement will transfer the historic College campus and other assets from the University to the new College.

This historic event will be marked by a signing ceremony on September 4th at 5:00 PM. The event is open to the public and will be held on the Antioch College campus located in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The ceremony will occur on the lawn located in the horseshoe drive on Livermore Street.

“The process to create an independent Antioch College has been a long and challenging one, but everyone involved in this effort was committed to the goal of creating an independent college, leaving the University free to focus on its predominately graduate programs which are located in four different states. There is a high level of energy and excitement as the board of Antioch College moves forward with the process of reopening the College,” said Richard Detweiler, President of the GLCA and mediator of a small group of representatives of the University Board of Governors and College alumni that have been working on the transfer since August of 2008.
