Back to where it all began!

The Class of 1976 returned to campus for their 50th reunion- reconnecting over a campus tour, sharing stories at a cocktail hour, and celebrating together at a special dinner reception.

From the days of vinyl records, bell bottoms, and a nation celebrating the United States Bicentennial, to today- your legacy continues to shape CNU.
Here’s to 50 years of memories, milestones, and being Captains for Life!

Cheers to the Class of 2026! 🥂

It was a beautiful evening at Three Oaks as our soon-to-be graduates gathered for the Senior Gift Toast. From signing the commemorative class numbers to raising a glass as the sun set over the water, it was the perfect way to celebrate four years of hard work and community.

You arrived as students, but you’ll leave as Captains for Life. We are so proud of you! ️💙⚓

Coffee, doughnuts, and a moment to take it all in. 🍩☕After today’s Senior Edition of the Wednesday Walk, the Class of 2026 took over the Alumni House to reflect on the journey and snap a few more memories before the big day. Not much time left until you cross the stage! 🎓
