Welcome New Members: Dominican University New York and the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary

This month, we’d like to introduce a few of our new Institutional Members! Please join us in welcoming the institutions that have joined Atla in recent months.

Institutional Member Dominican University New York

Founded in 1952 by the Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt, Dominican University New York was originally a two-year liberal arts college offering a teaching preparation program for religious women. In 1957, the college was opened to lay students, and throughout the decades, other programs and degrees were added to eventually create the independent, four-year and master’s-level, liberal arts university for men and women.

Sullivan Library was opened in 2007 in Rosary Hall and named after the former President and current Chancellor Sr. Kathleen Sullivan, O.P., and the Sullivan family. In 2011, the Sullivan Library added the Learning Commons, an educational space equipped with technology where students can study collaboratively or individually.

Institutional Member Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary

Located in Ogbomoso, Nigeria, the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary was founded in 1898 and originally functioned as an overseas campus for the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, until 2000. NBTS became a postgraduate institution in 2002.

The James Christopher Pool Memorial Library contains 73,000 volumes for circulation and reference, as well as approximately 213 journals and periodicals. The library also houses a small collection of African antiquities, along with special collections relating to Nigerian Baptist history and other materials of theological and historical importance.
