Greetings and happy spring! Campus is buzzing with excitement as we near graduation and the college is busy planning its annual awards night for exemplary CLA students.

You can also sign up for the 5k Run and Family Fun Walk.

Be on the lookout for your invitation to our annual CLA night at the Phillies. Registration will be live soon and this is always a sell-out event!

Go Owls!
