Class Deans
Central College’s class deans are here to support students throughout their time at Central. Starting at orientation and continuing through graduation, class deans remain with their class for all four years of those students’ academic careers.

Tutoring & Writing Hub
The Tutoring & Writing Hub provides free peer tutoring for all students who want to increase their skills in writing or with specific courses. Trained student tutors are chosen by professors and help large numbers of students each semester.
