Fran De Jong '57

Twenty years after graduating from Central, Fran De Jong '57 returned as the college's chaplain, retiring in 1997. Through her wonderful experiences at Central, as a student and an employee, Fran's passion for the college and its ministries remains strong.

Fran received encouragement and support from Central and the community when she returned to campus as chaplain. She remains connected through her participation in an array of college activities, such as attending athletic events, music concerts or theatre productions and volunteering her time to help the college in any way she's able. She also decided to support the college by setting up a charitable bequest in her will with Central as beneficiary.

"The college has been important to me all along," Fran says. "I support the mission of the college, its students and what the college commits to do now and in the future. I, as a part of the college, appreciate the support Central receives from others like me, as well as those in the local community, and I encourage more people to consider making such a gift. Giving through a bequest designation is a great way to stay connected and involved with the college."
