Saint Joseph's College (Indiana)
Summary
Saint Joseph's College (SJC; colloquially, Saint Joe) is an unaccredited private Catholic college in Rensselaer, Indiana. It was founded in 1889 and suspended academic operations in 2017 with approximately 1,100 students enrolled.

During training camp one year, Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus was reportedly seen out on a tractor in the cornfield adjacent to the campus.

Outgoing president Robert Pastoor noted hopes of reopening, although his resignation was to take effect in May 2017.
