Alumni Enews



Spring reminds us that every season brings the promise of a new beginning! At Central, we see that spirit every day. Education is its own kind of spring, a time when curiosity grows, ideas take root, and students begin to discover who they want to become. Many in our community share a meaningful connection to Central. As alumni, you may remember the professors, friendships, and experiences that shaped your path. For our friends, your support helps open doors for our students and strengthens our future. This year, we celebrate what it means to be Bold & Blue. Being Bold means stepping forward when it matters and Blue reflects the pride and connection that unite us. Today, we invite you to be Bold & Blue with a gift to the Annual Fund. Your support provides funding for student programs, research, athletics, faculty innovation, and areas where the University needs it most. Every gift helps us finish the year strong for our students and there is no better time than now! Make your gift today! Rho Kappa Sigma Is BOLD and BLUE — Which Greek Organization Is Next? The brothers of Rho Kappa Sigma are proud to announce that we’re purchasing bricks to support the Bold and Blue Pavilion Brick Campaign. It’s our way of leaving our legacy on campus and showing that RKS alumni have Blue Devil Pride,” said RKS member Bill Davis ’81. A little friendly competition was always part of Greek life at Central, and that energy is back. Who’s next to step up? Will it be Tau Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Phi Omega, or Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority? That same Blue Devil Pride runs across all of Central. Alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends, this is your moment to be part of something lasting and leave your mark. Ready to join in?
