Celebrating Eagle Pride
The Campaign for Central's Future
Central Methodist University is committed to being recognized and valued as an institution that delivers distinctive programs of excellence, a robust and supportive campus environment, and the preparation students need to make a living and live a life.
With Eagle Pride: The Campaign for Central’s Future, CMU is focusing on three areas that can help us reach these goals and push our University further: student success, athletic achievement, and campus beautification. Within each of these areas, special projects and programs have been identified as opportunities for investment.
