There’s a fresh energy on campus as the first cool hint of fall arrives! The buzz of a new year is everywhere, from athletics to campus organizations.
And thanks to you, that energy is electric! You made our 48-Hour Challenge a success for the Journey Scholarship Fund — thank you to our alumni and donors!
Now, the celebration continues. It’s time to reconnect, relive your favorite moments and make new memories at Homecoming 2025, Sept. 26-28!
This year is packed with can’t-miss moments, including two incredible milestones:
|
|
|
-
A 50th Reunion for the Class of 1975!
- 50 Years of Central's iconic Glassblowing Program!
|
It’s an unforgettable weekend for everyone. Many events are free, thanks to the generous support of sponsors like The Amsterdam Hotel, but we still need you to register so we can save you a spot.
Ready to come home? Check out the full schedule and register today!
