USF and Saint Anthony Medical Center partnership sees continued growth.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for 2 p.m., September 10, for a new, temporary home for the University of Saint Francis-Crown Point campus.
The new campus will be located on St. Anthony Medical Center’s property (SAMC) on the south side of Franciscan Point, the medical center’s outpatient health and sports medicine complex, located along U.S. 231 about one-half mile east of Interstate 65.
Construction is scheduled for completion in December, with the facility’s opening slated for January 2011. It is expected that the new campus will be occupied for up to five years, after which time a larger, permanent home in Crown Point will be established.
To date, the Crown Point location is the only satellite campus for the University of Saint Francis, which began the program by utilizing space at SAMC in 2006.
Sister M. Elise Kriss, president of the University of Saint Francis, together with Sister Aline Shultz, corporate vice president of marketing and public relations for Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc., formed the partnership in 2004 between the university and the St. Anthony Medical Center.
“We are very pleased with the growth of the University of Saint Francis-Crown Point campus,” said Sister Elise. “In keeping with the university’s commitment to building for the future and providing our students with excellence in programs and facilities, we recognized the need for additional space in the Crown Point area to meet the increasing demand in northwest Indiana. As always, we are dedicated to providing our students with every opportunity for their continued success, and we believe that this new facility is a significant and vital step in achieving that goal.”
Sister Aline is likewise enthusiastic about the new satellite location, commenting in particular on the positive impact of the university’s entry-level, bridging and graduate level programs. She said, “It’s been a great opportunity for the university and the hospital to partner by offering courses – from entry level to master’s degree – in nursing and health administration. The proximity of the school to Franciscan Point will provide students exposure to the array of medical services offered there and further enhance their learning experience.”
Currently, USF-Crown Point has four full-time and five adjunct instructors, with a need for additional adjunct instructors. For more information on USF-Crown Point programs or on becoming an instructor, call (219) 681-6800.
The University of Saint Francis, founded in 1890, is a comprehensive university in the Catholic Franciscan tradition, offering undergraduate and graduate programs to more than 2,300 students from a broad geographic region.
