Holocaust Survivor Visits C-SC
After 5 years of research and writing Reed has produced the documented history of his wartime refugee children's colony under the title of "The Heroes of La Hille - How Almost 100 Jewish Children Foiled the Nazi Murder Machine (1939 - 1945)."  Syracuse University Press will publish the book this year.
Culver-Stockton College officials are pleased to announce students now have the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science in sport management degree, completely online. While the College has offered sport management as an on-campus degree for many years, students can now utilize C-SC's online learning tools to earn the degree. This degree program joins Culver-Stockton's existing online degrees, including a Bachelor of Science in business, a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences in criminal justice. 

"The Sport Management Department is excited to offer its undergraduate degree program entirely online.  We hope that this format will be attractive to student's who have busy schedules or are located in areas that make completing a traditional degree program difficult," said Dan Mahoney, department chair of the Sport Management Program.   "The online program is a convenient alternative for students wanting to study at a pace that fits their lifestyles.  Read More

Brent Hickenbottom '00 Book Signing
June 15, 1 p.m.
Brent Hickenbottom '00 will be at the Carl Johann Library
June 15 at 1 p.m. to sign his new book. This book 
chronicles one family's first year following the loss of a young child. Grayden Steele Hickenbottom was two and a half when he didn't wake up from his nap one day...and his family was forever changed. "117 Things: Stories About Dealing With Grief" is just that...117 stories about the first year after his death, and how his family struggled to find a way to move on without him. Meant to be both raw and real, and complete with both candor and humor, this text gives an in depth look at one family's battle to find its new "normal."
