Revisiting the History of John F. Kennedy College

Lisa Brichacek of Wahoo Newspaper reported in "College history revisited" on a presentation by Carl Wirth, a John F. Kennedy College graduate, who shared the history of the college and stories about his time on the campus in northwest Wahoo.  Wirth concludes that institution had a lasting impact on the community even though it was only open a short time.

John F. Kennedy College operated from from 1965-1975 in Wahoo, NE and occupied the campus that was previously the home of Luther Junior College. Luther, founded in 1883, merged with Midland College (Fremont, Nebraska) in 1962 and the name was changed to Midland Lutheran College, now Midland University.
