Invincible Marching Marauders
Every Marauder moves to the beat of our legendary band. You will see it on the field and all around campus. It was even immortalized in Dave Chapelle’s Block Party!
You have to get involved to have the HBCU experience. You have to make things happen. I had a lot of fun.

Royal Court Coronation
Our Royal Court embodies Marauder excellence. Kings and queens are elected from each class year and school and crowned at a glorious Homecoming ceremony. The Court inspires us all year at events, games, and more.
Pirate Week
New students soak up Central State culture during this week-long introduction to campus. Pirate Week culminates in the solemn Candlelight Ceremony, where you become a true Marauder — ready to carry our legacy forward.
Welcome Week
Homecoming
Homecoming HBCU-style is always epic. At Central, it goes beyond that! Each fall, students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends gather for tailgate parties, a parade through town, a fierce football game, and a spirited concert.
Spring Fest
Meltdown Party
University Student Center
Basketball legend Magic Johnson cut the ribbon when this state-of-the-art building opened in 2015. Inside, you will find a convenience store, a bookstore, a cafe, a ballroom, and plenty of spaces to chill and play.
