Jarvis Christian College Announces New Location For Dallas Instructional Site
Jarvis Christian College President Dr. Lester C. Newman, the Jarvis Board of Directors, Executive Cabinet, faculty and staff welcomed alumni, students, elected officials and the Dallas community to their new instructional site at RedBird Mall with a ribbon cutting ceremony and reception.
Dr. Newman invited the audience to explore the many programs at its newest location and join its community. “This is a very exciting time at Jarvis Christian College, where the rich heritage of the past is evident but where innovation and growth are inevitable,” he said. “As a historically black, liberal arts college, Jarvis is a family-oriented community, dedicated to developing innovative, servant leaders in various fields of study, and equipping them with the skills to make a tangible difference in their lives and in the lives of others, whether locally, nationally or globally.”
More than 100 guests toured the new facility which houses classrooms, a conference room and offices for instructors, recruiters and administrative staff. “We will offer degree completion programs in areas of Criminal Justice, Business Administration and Religion,” said Dr. Newman. Through our Business Administration Program, we will offer specializations in Data Analytics and Cyber-Security. Jarvis Christian College looks forward to becoming a part of the Dallas Educational Corridor.” Eight-week certification classes in Medical Billing, Coding Specialist, Medical Assisting and Microsoft Office (Excel and Word) are also offered, both online and in a traditional classroom setting.
The classes will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 p.m. – 8:50 p.m. and on the 2nd and 4th Saturday from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. In the spring, classes will be offered five days a week and alternate Saturdays.
During the program, guests were welcomed by Dallas City Councilman Tennell Atkins whose district includes RedBird Mall. “This new location will not only allow the campus to grow but to be a part of the triumphant return of RedBird, a historic mixed-use development for Southern Dallas,” said Councilman Atkins. “My goal is to continue the work to ensure that economic development in the Southern sector moves at a faster pace as your Dallas campus helps equip a future workforce.” Other speakers included Roland Parish, one of the investors in Redbird Mall and William Fisher, Rev. Chris Dorsey, Dr. Glenell Lee-Pruitt, Kenneth Gwyn and Tory Edwards, all members of the Jarvis Board and staff.
“I am honored that Jarvis Christian College has become a part of the Dallas Community,” said Dr. Newman. “It is our goal to expand educational opportunities for adult learners interested in completing their college degree. Jarvis has a rich history of affecting the lives of students, their communities, the great State of Texas and the nation.”
