The 2021-22 Campus Theme is Responsible Citizenship.
Political polarization. Civil unrest. A global pandemic. Climate change. Economic inequality. These challenges require respectful dialog; openness to change; active engagement; and complex, interdisciplinary perspectives. Central’s mission calls upon its community to help students “[develop] values essential to responsible citizenship,” preparing them for “service in local, national and international communities.” How will we respond to today’s challenges? Anticipate those of tomorrow? Have difficult conversations? Act with empathy for those around us? Work toward a just society?
