From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Graceland University is a private liberal arts university of about 2300 students and 150 faculty with campuses in Lamoni, Iowa and Independence, Missouri. The school, though non-sectarian, was established by, and is affiliated with, the Community of Christ, formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS), and was founded in 1895 as Lamoni College.

Its main campus is located in Lamoni, Iowa. This residential campus offers 43 majors and 60 degree options, 17 varsity sports, campus wide activities, and intramural sports. Among the significant architectural structures on the Lamoni Campus are the Higdon Administration Building, the Roy A. Cheville Chapel, Closson Physical Education Center, Frederick Madison Smith Library, and the Shaw Center.

The Independence campus is an urban campus that houses the school of nursing, undergraduate and graduate programs in education and Community of Christ Seminary.This campus also houses the Center for the Study of the Korean War, the largest Korean War archive in the United States.

In 1995, Graceland University acquired SkillPath, a business training company offering seminars and classes in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. SkillPath has offered approximately 20,000 sessions to more than 500,000 students in 450 cities.

Dr. John D. Sellars was named as Graceland's 17th president, assuming that role effective July 15, 2007. He follows Dr. Steven L. Anders (Graceland's vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty who was appointed acting president on August 7, 2006), and John K. Menzies (who resigned as Graceland’s president on August 5, 2006).

Graceland won first-place in the four-year division of the SIFE USA National Exposition in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 23, 2006. The team then went on to be the 1st runner up at the World Cup competition in Paris, France. In 2008, the SIFE team finished 3rd in National competition in Chicago, Illinois.
