Interested in having organic veggies and fruits delivered to your home during Minnesota’s growing season?  This is called a CSA – Community Supported Agriculture.  Delivery of a standard-size grocery bag full of assorted veggies and fruits (specific kinds depend on what’s available throughout the growing season) costs about $30 per week for a family of four.  If you have a smaller family, you can choose to share with extended family or perhaps neighbors.  If interested in learning more, please contact Pam Thinesen, Biology Faculty and Campus Sustainability Coordinator, 651-779-3476, pamela.thinesen@century.edu

I am writing to request your help in recruiting volunteers for the city of Stillwater’s flood prevention efforts. We need volunteers primarily to fill sandbags, as well as a few volunteers to help register the other volunteers. Volunteers can sign up for 2.5 hour shifts starting March 8th and continuing for several weeks. We need up to 50 volunteers per shift, and are aiming to fill 100,000 sandbags in order to prevent the St. Croix River from flooding. Volunteers 12 and older are welcome.

Interested volunteers can call Community Thread at 651-439-7434 or elena@communitythreadmn.org

Hey Students - Beat the Rush!

Now is a great time of the semester for you to make an appointment with a counselor in the Counseling and Career Center.  We want you to conduct your educational planning before the busy registration period begins.  Don’t wait to give consideration to important questions such as:


·        What major will you choose?
·        What college do you want to transfer to after Century College?
·        What classes should you register for next semester? – The Fall and Summer term schedules are online NOW!
·        Learn how to read your DARS (Degree Audit Report)?
·        Are you ready to graduate?


Review your Degree Audit Report (DARS) at www.century.edu/dars.aspx and meet with a counselor as soon as possible.  You can also call (651-779-3285) or stop by any day during our open hours to make an individual appointment or to ask when Quick Stop times are available at the Counseling and Career Center (W2410).
