BE BOLD. THINK BIG. CREATE CHANGE.

July 2021 | Issue 95

Thank You, Wildcats!

Thanks to the generous support of C-SC alumni and friends, we are excited to share that we have met our fundraising and participation goals for the year! The Wildcat community showed up in a BIG way and we surpassed our alumni participation goal of 20%. You have made a difference, Wildcats, by supporting student scholarships, innovative programs, and experiential learning on “the Hill!”

C-SC Looks Forward

At Culver-Stockton College, it is our mission to educate students within a supportive learning community through our experiential curriculum. Construction of the I.D.E.A. Center, which will provide students with a designated space to focus on Innovative Design and Experiential Activities, is on-track for a late-fall opening.

This project will be home to collaborative problem solving that encourages students to apply knowledge in bold, creative ways and celebrates our reliance on face-to-face, hands-on, interactive education.

Admissions Team News

The summer 2021 focus for the C-SC Admissions Team is welcoming new Wildcats to “the Hill” for our slate of late spring and summer Registration Days.

After a long break from on-campus registrations and activities, we have been very excited to have these on campus events, as they have been the first on campus registration events we have been able to do since March of last year. Seeing our future Wildcats and their families experience "the Hill" in person during these days has been even more special to us this year.

Chaplaincy Endowment

Reaches $1,000,000 Mark

An integral part of building and nurturing the faith-based environment on “the Hill” is the Chaplain, a designated individual who offers all-faiths based programming to students, faculty and staff, and other community members.

As a community, we set a goal to create and fund an endowment specifically for faith development through chaplaincy activities on our campus. After dedicated efforts and contributions over the years, we are proud to announce that the Chaplaincy Endowment has reached an important milestone of funding at $1,000,000!

Culver-Stockton College is proud to announce the promotion and appointment of three staff members to “the Hill.” As of Thursday, July 1st, Dr. Dell Ann Janney, Ms. Angie Royal, and Rev. Wesley Knight assumed their new positions.

Culver-Stockton College announced a new program specifically designed for individuals whose education was affected by the global pandemic. “College Restart” is a unique offering from C-SC that pays half of a student’s tuition when they return to the classroom after a break in studies.

Homecoming 2021

This year, we are featuring alumni reunions for Football, ATO 50th Anniversary, Theater, History Majors/Minors and Friends, and Class Years: '60, '61, '70, '71, '80, '81, '90, '91, '95, '96, '00, '01, '10, and '11.

We hope you can join us on "the Hill" for Homecoming! If you are a member of one of the classes we are celebrating this year, we invite you to join your class’s reunion Facebook group to enjoy throwback pictures and reconnect with your class reunion leaders and friends from “the Hill.”
