Update from "the Hill"

Join Culver-Stockton President Douglas B. Palmer and his trainer Wildcat Willie as they “go the extra mile” to support our students.

Culver-Stockton College’s 27th president, Dr. Douglas B. Palmer, planned to complete a half-marathon in Indianapolis this fall, but the race has transitioned to a virtual event in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Palmer is using the opportunity to complete the race virtually to help raise funds for student scholarships. Palmer is showing his willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ for C-SC students by running 14.1 miles, one mile longer than a typical half-marathon, in Canton on November 14.

Follow along for the next two weeks on the Culver-Stockton College Facebook page as Palmer completes his rigorous training regimen with the help of Wildcat Willie and works to become a champion for C-SC student scholarship support. Check back often! Video updates will be posted at 11 a.m. daily leading up to race day.

We hope to impact as many students as possible before he crosses the finish line on November 14, and we need your help to make it happen. Every gift counts. With 96% of students receiving assistance, the impact is felt by nearly every student on campus. The first 100 donors making a gift of $25 or more to support the SSF will receive a commemorative T-shirt, courtesy of an anonymous donor.
