4C’s Students Discuss Goals, Passions

Every student has a story. What’s more, every student’s story is different from the next.

Those strewn across campus, tucked away in quiet corners with their noses in a book or laptop all have vibrant aspirations, possibilities that cause their eyes to gleam as they speak of them. With that in mind, the MainSheet took a walk around the new science building to give you an inside look at six of these students’ educational and career goals-- at 4C’s and beyond.

‘Neymar: The Perfect Chaos’ Tackles Challenges In Soccer

Soccer was not a sport I played or watched growing up. I loved sports, but soccer was not that interesting to me. Now that I’m older, I’ve become interested in soccer and decided to watch the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

College Club Emphasizes Friendship

Imagine a laid-back space on campus where you can chat about your hobbies and interests, work on craft projects, and take nature walks - all while socializing with your peers.
