It’s in the same location in Pierre (925 East Sioux Avenue), but Capital University Center has a new name, a new website and new nursing class offerings.
Capital University Center is now Capital City Campus. Complete with a fresh logo and modernized website, CapitalCityCampus.org is set to launch tomorrow (Jan. 28).
Lake Area Tech in Watertown plans to begin providing its Licensed Practical Nursing and Associate of Applied Science in Registered Nursing programs at Capital City Campus this fall, pending approval (from the SD Board of Nursing and Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing).
Capital City Campus will host an open house tomorrow (Tues.) from 3-6pm with a ribbon cutting at 4:30pm. Attendees will get to meet staff from Lake Area Tech, learn more about available classes and see the campus classrooms.
Executive Director Chris Maxwell says as they look to bring more classes and experiences to Pierre, including ‘campus’ in the new name makes sense. He says they’re thinking big and thinking ahead and this is the first step toward future goals.
Vice President of Lake Area Tech Diane Stile says they’re excited to partner with Capital City Campus to increase access to medical training in central South Dakota. Offering programs locally allows students to balance furthering their education with their current careers and family lives.
