TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2022

Ellie Roorda ’24, pictured above behind the carriage driver, shares the scoop about Pella’s annual Tulip Time festival. We hope to see many from the Central College community around Pella this weekend during Tulip Time. You can even scan QR codes at Central-run booths to easily check in with your alma mater. And don’t forget to stop by campus!

We also invite you to attend Commencement for the Central Class of 2022 at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 14. You can even celebrate the Class of 2022, and beautify campus, with a contribution to their senior class gift! We hope to see you soon.
