“I feel that being in the

equestrian club has given me a

huge confidence

boost and has turned me into a great leader.”

“Playing a

sport here at Central

has introduced me

to a group

of people

that are now a

support group

and are now

some of my best friends.

”

“It has made the transition from high school to college exponentially easier.”

“I’m an exchange student and it's very different for me the way people attend school in America…

participating in a sports club makes my experience at Central more like what I expected it to be before I

came over from the Netherlands.”
