Be sure to visit campus to see what Central is all about. CWU hosts future Wildcats on campus throughout the year.
Can't make it to campus? We have you covered.
You just need to have the determination, and not get discouraged when you fail along the way. I’ve failed so many times, but it’s that failure that I keep learning from. If you can stick it out, you’ll do good for yourself. Central has all the resources to help anybody; you just have to seek them out. Looking back now, I’m so glad I came to Central. The thing I like is the way the university is so connected to the community. It’s a really unique environment. One of my philosophies is, I’m always learning, always improving, always thinking: what can I learn more about. Central taught me that.
