Olivet University -Olivet University Finds New Campus in Silicon Valley

September 07, 2011

Olivet University has found a new campus for its growing student enrollment in San Francisco downtown campus. 
 
The 72-acre campus located in Scotts Valley, about an hour away from San Francisco, was formally occupied by Bethany University, which announced its closure on June 13. Bethany University originally made the appeal for Olivet University to take over the campus. Olivet's administration is currently planning the development of both Olivet and a new Bethany on the same campus.
 
According to the initial paper work signed on August 19, Olivet University will start utilizing the campus and start classes in September. 
 
“The signing of the contract is a direct result of the many thousands of hours in prayer that was spent by students, staff, faculty, and friends,” said Olivet University President Dr. William Wagner.  “I am convinced that this is a great step forward for Olivet’s mission in educating students for the Glory of God.”
 
“The Board of Trustees rejoices that God has provided a worthy successor to continue the mission of spiritual formation and ministry training on the sacred ground of Bethany Park. We ask all Bethany constituents to join us as we pray God’s blessings on the ‘New’ Bethany,” wrote Bethany’s Board in an official statement.
 
 
Olivet University plans to keep the San Francisco downtown location at 250 4th Street for administration and classes.
