"My favorite C-SC minute was one that lead to the rest of my life. I had no idea at the time, but it was the first minute I spent talking to Ryan, the man who would eventually become my husband." Celeste DuPont Walker - 2000

I justed love when Chef Dana would host Big Al's night in the cafeteria. I mean a chef in skids serving nothing but chili dogs, tator tots, and corn dogs. The only thing better would be the double helping of shepard's pie I would have for dessert. Yummy!! Kevin Bittner - 1999

Some of my most memorable minutes occured in the parlor of the Alpha Xi Delta house. From chapter meetings to "Do you love your neighbor". From playing Mancala instead of studying to watching "Days of Our Lives" over lunch. I guess in reality it wasn't the parlor, but times shared with my Alpha Xi sisters that made C-SC so special to me. I think of you all often and miss you. Xi Love! Jenni Sanders (Sheffield) - 1998

My C-SC minute was my initiation into the Chi Omega sorority. The time was not only memorable because I was becoming a part of something amazing and long lasting; but because of the true sisterhood. To my surprise, my biological sister who had graduated C-SC eight years prior, made a long journey to be with me on that special occasion and I can still remember the feeling when I first saw her there! This is truly a memory that will last a lifetime for me. Renee Scheiter-Higgins - 1997

One of my favorite CS-C moments took place at the one of many Lambda Chi Alpha parties. My good friend, Cy Wardwell, and all the guys were standing around talking and the girls were in a cirlce talking and dancing. Without a word said to anyone, Cy walks thru the girls cirlce directly up to Jill Dingerson and dazzles her with a famous kiss. He then turns right around and walks back over the guys and never said anything to Jill or us. It was one of those "Cy moments" I will never forget!!! MATT THURMON - 1997

Seeing this cute little girl, Joy Brown, walking across campus. In 1955 we got married, and are still together. Lee Winston - 1955

My favorite minute was our senior volleyball season when we beat Central Methodist for the conference championship! The crowd was huge that night! Kara Buckner - 2005

The minute my parents drove away. That mixture of excitment and fear never left me during my stay at Culver, it drove me to want more and more. That moment was the start of so many others that I will never forget! Emily Sterner Sindle - 1996-97

I'll keep it simple and appropriate for my current weather... ...sledding down the hill from Culver/Johnson Hall on trays from the cafeteria and pieces of cardboard with my newly made college friends during winter of my freshman year. The beginning of 4 great years and many great friendships! Of course, Dr. Brown giving me a kiss on the cheek at graduation was a nice ending to my college career as well! Gina (Hagen) Driscoll - 1983

When Dave Becker got smashed in a soccer game by the opponent, then the other guy jumped on top of him and started punching him. This was until Kurt Fox, the enforcer, came running in and pummelled the other guy! CSC Pride at its finest. Or maybe it was when our goalie, Rob Meldrum, smashed his face into the goal post saving a shot in practice - there was lots of blood! Phil Cotta - 1996

One of my favorites was hearing the Alpha Xi honk. It still brings a smile to my face. Blair Vacek - 1998-2001

My favorite minute involves the greatest lie I ever told. I was standing in the cafeteria waiting to dump my lunch tray and I told the girl in front of me "I was going to call you last night." I had never even spoken to this girl before because I was always too nervous. I just blurted out this complete lie about how I was going to call and I tried to act all cool about it. I just said it. She turned around, smiled, and simply said..."well, you should have"...and then she set down her tray and walked away. Her response gave me the courage to call her later that night and we have been together now for 12 years, married for 6. Amidst the trash cans and conveyor belt hung the greatest lie I ever told, and led me to the most beautiful and amazing woman I have ever known. J.J. Huckin - 1993-1997

My favorite C-SC moment is more of an on-going realization that my professors collectively provided me with a solid liberal arts education which has stood the test of time. Mary Oatman - 1979

I have so many C-SC minutes that I cherish!! Even though graduation was a sad time to be leaving all my friends, it was one of my proudest minutes at C-SC. With my degree, I am where I am today! Mary Maxwell Arnold - 1998

At Culver, every choir member will tell you that the last minute of the last song of choir tour is unforgettable. It sums up dedication, teamwork, relief, and true appreciation of music, education and comradery. One of the most emotional and gratifying events in college. Stacy Stout Raith - 1979-1983

My favorite moment at C-SC was the day that I accepted my bid to Alpha Xi Delta. Waiting in my room in Ziegler hall for that envelope to be delivered was one moment I will never forget. I still remember running to that house and being accepted with open arms. My memories of C-SC are what they are because of Alpha Xi Delta. Renee Jarrett - 1998

One of my favorite C-SC minutes was my freshman year on the day we received our sorority acceptance sheets. I remember running to the Alpha Xi house with girls that would become life long friends. Our house may be gone but the friendships I developed with my pledge class and others in the house will be long standing. I miss seeing you guys! Amy (Roberson) LaChance - 1997

My favorite C-SC minute occurs repeatedly, when former students share with me how their C-SC education enriched their lives and led them to productive and satisfying careers. Robert (Bob) Sadler -

My favoite C-SC minute was when I finished my senior music recital this past semester. It was so exciting and rewarding. Annie Neavill - 2007
