FORT WAYNE, IN - Trine University has received a $5 million pledge from The James Foundation.

The money will go toward a new project at Trine University Fort Wayne, the approximately 120,000-square-foot academic and training facility announced in June that will house programs in its College of Health Professions.

Trine University already had received a $2.5 million commitment toward the project from alumnus and Board of Trustees member Larry Reiners and his wife Judy, of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Opening in fall 2024, the approximately $40 million Trine University Fort Wayne campus, developed in close partnership with Parkview Health, will employ 100 faculty and staff and serve nearly 700 students in Trine's College of Health Professions (CHP), which currently includes its physical therapy, physician assistant, speech-language pathology, nursing and surgical technology programs.
