Iowa's Catholic Colleges Unite in New Partnership

For the first time since their founding — which for Loras College dates back to 1839 — Iowa’s six private Catholic colleges have formed a collegiate association aimed at finding new ways to collaborate and address “the ever-changing issues facing private colleges and universities.”  The Iowa Catholic Collegiate Association, which was announced Friday, includes Loras in Dubuque, Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Mercy College of Health Sciences in Des Moines, Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Clark University in Dubuque and St. Ambrose University in Davenport.
