As our nation celebrates its 250th birthday this year, we’re reminded that the strongest communities are built by people who continue showing up for one another. That same spirit has defined Central College for generations, and in 2028, we’ll proudly celebrate 175 years of preparing students to do a world of good.
That milestone isn’t just about looking back — it’s about building what comes next. And you are an important part of that story.
Whether you’re volunteering in your hometown, participating in a Central service day or mentoring the next generation of Dutch, every act of service strengthens our alumni community and reflects the values we share.
We also hope you’ll come home for Homecoming, Oct. 2-4. Reconnect with classmates, celebrate new traditions and experience the energy of campus once again. There’s nothing quite like being back on campus with the Central family.
Thank you for continuing to make a difference wherever life has taken you. We wish you and your loved ones a safe, relaxing and joyful summer, and we hope to see you back on campus this fall!
Go Dutch!
