Events & Calendar

Embarking on your college journey is an exciting time, and at Central, we ensure that your first year is packed with enriching experiences, fun events, and opportunities to make lifelong friends. Our First Year Experience (FYE) program is designed to support you from your first day on campus through to the end of your first year, helping you thrive academically, socially, and personally. 

Our events are built to connect you to you peers, to the campus resources, and to the larger community. From games of man hunt to carnivals, we are creating something for everyone! Both first-time first-year students and transfers are invited to all FYE events. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @ccsu_fye to be in the know of all the up to date information.
