About Dutchology
Mission Statement
The Central College Magazine is published throughout the year by the communications office for alumni, parents and friends of Central College. Its mission is to generate discussion and reflection, highlight the diversity of student, faculty and alumni experiences and inform readers about the engaging and possibly world-changing research and thought happening at Central. The Central College Magazine aims to strengthen connections to the college and within the Central College community.
The Website
The digital version of the Central College Magazine offers web-exclusive content, videos, photo slideshows and interactive features like reader comments, online sharing and electronic Class Notes submissions. By featuring more of Central’s stories than is possible in print, the digital version of this magazine is able to cover a wider range of issues and cultivate a deeper — and more social — intellectual experience.
