The Central College alumni family grew by 251 on Saturday, May 16, as the Class of 2026 was celebrated during this year’s Commencement ceremony. Graduates and guests heard remarks from Commencement speaker Mike Main ’87 as they marked this important milestone.
Our newest alumni recognize their experiences at Central were shaped and enriched by many — including generous donors. As Central President Mark Putnam shared during his address, we look forward to the good these graduates will do in the world with their Central education. Congratulations, Class of 2026!
