Why Did You Choose Central College: I chose Central College for several reasons. First, the campus is stunning, and the town of Pella is charming with its community and abundance of coffee shops (which is perfect for a coffee nerd like me). When I stepped onto the flower-filled campus, I immediately felt a sense of belonging, which was incredibly important to me. Additionally, Central has an impressive track record when it comes to preparing students for dental school, which aligns perfectly with my career aspirations. Plus, the affordability! All these factors made Central the clear choice for me.
What Is Your Favorite Central College Tradition? The Breakfast of Champions is a great night to enjoy camaraderie and yummy food served by professors and staff!
What Is Your Favorite Weekend Activity at Central College? I love studying at the coffee shops around town!
What Do You Enjoy About Being an Admission Ambassador? As an admission ambassador at Central, I love sharing my enthusiasm for the college with prospective students and their families. It’s incredibly exciting to showcase our beautiful campus, highlight the supportive environment and demonstrate the countless opportunities available here. Guiding students through their college decision process and seeing their excitement grow as they discover all that Central has to offer is very rewarding.
