Central State University: Alumni Relations

05/29/2026

Class of 2030, are you ready to S.O.A.R? We are just three weeks away from the beginning of our SOAR Overnight dates, and we can't wait to welcome you home.

SOAR: The Overnight Experience is an immersive, two-day onboarding designed to ensure students arrive prepared, connected, and fully aligned with campus life. It moves students beyond orientation—guiding them through registration, financial readiness, housing confirmation, and community building before the first day of class.

SOAR ensures that by Day One, students aren't just arriving-they're ready to thrive.

If you haven't registered yet there's still time. Scan the QR code or click here https://loom.ly/7ntr-3A to sign up today.
