Why Put Central College in Your Will?

"We were extremely impressed by the rigorous academic courses, the quality of professors and the integrity of the coaches." —Joel and Shayla From

Our first impression of Central College was when our son, Justin '06, enrolled as a freshman. Through the eyes of our son, we learned very quickly the value of a Central College education. We were extremely impressed by the rigorous academic courses, the quality of professors and the integrity of the coaches. We started to notice that Central develops the whole student: mind, body and spirit.

One Central parent told us: "What does a Central graduate have on either side of him when he graduates? A professor." Of course, when Justin graduated, there were two of his favorite professors standing there!

Along with academics and athletics, there was another component to a Central education: service. The college's emphasis on service significantly impacted Justin. He developed a commitment that follows him to this day.

During Justin's time at Central and still today, we have come to know and appreciate how special the Central family is-the talented faculty, administration, staff and students we feel fortunate to call friends.

So, why did we include Central in our will? To give back to a college that has given so much to our family and ensure that many generations have the opportunities of a Central education.
