GRACELAND UNIVERSITY
Graceland was founded in 1895 with a commitment to creating nonsectarian learning communities that prepare students for meaningful and productive lives. Graceland’ s main residential campus is located on 170 acres of rolling hills in Lamoni, Iowa. For over 50 years, Graceland has also been educating health care professionals in Independence, Missouri, which is home to the School of Nursing and the Doctor of Physical Therapy programs. The Independence campus also includes the Gleazer School of Education teacher education program as well as both undergraduate degree completion programs and graduate studies in many fields. SkillPath, Graceland’ s subsidiary located in Mission, Kansas, provides both face-to-face and online seminars to life-long learners in business and industry that allow them to improve or refresh their skills in a wide range of areas. Central to the University’ s mission is creating an environment of radical belonging, where all are welcome, valued, and empowered to learn and grow. Radical belonging enables Graceland students to gain the selfconfidence and strength to be the bold leaders and changemakers the world needs.
