A Day in the Life of a Captain

Join us on Monday, February 17, 2025, to experience part of what a typical school day is like on campus!

You'll attend a class and have lunch in one of our dining halls with other admitted students, and learn more about what makes the CNU student experience special. Hopefully you'll get a sense for how we're committed to helping you make a successful transition from high school to college, and learn about some of the great opportunities for you here.

We'll also offer a separate session and lunch for parents.
