TUESDAY, NOV. 5, 2024

Central College’s campus has been buzzing with excitement and energy as our students enjoy their Central experience. During Homecoming 2024, we welcomed more than 700 guests for the weekend to celebrate lifelong friendships, renew a sense of connection and create new memories with family and friends! ❤️

During this season of gratitude, we are so thankful for you. We are thankful for opportunities to reconnect and share the special love for the Central family. Don’t forget to follow us on social media to see our beautiful campus and keep up with students, donors and alumni @CentralCollege and CentralCollege.

Much work is happening as we plan for the future of Central. Your continued support remains critical to the future. You have the opportunity to demonstrate your support for Central during Giving Tuesday, on Tuesday, Dec. 3, or finish 2024 with a calendar year-end gift before Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
