TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2020

This weekend is the Fourth of July, the height of summer and a perfect time to safely connect with friends and family.
Don’t forget about your friends and family at Central College this week either! Consider showing your support or getting involved: make masks for students, post jobs and internships and plan your return to campus for Homecoming 2020.
As always, we hope this finds you well. Have a safe holiday weekend!

Save the Date

Homecoming will be held Sept. 25-26. We look forward to welcoming our alumni back and celebrating being Forever Dutch.

MAKING OF MASKS

Central would like your help making masks for students when they come to campus. If you would like to use Central colors, the material may be red, white, black or gray. If you are interested in donating, please contact Mary Benedict.
