With countless great stories across the North Central College campus and the wider Cardinal community, we’ve created a new way to share them.
Welcome to 1861, the North Central College Podcast
Join us on this journey. Let’s see where it leads. A liberal arts education is about examining diverse perspectives, asking questions, and engaging in dialogue, so we’ll aim to have conversations that will get you thinking — inspire and challenge you. Maybe even smile ... or laugh.
Whether you are a current or prospective student, faculty or staff member, alum, friend or fan, we hope you enjoy a bird’s-eye view of what makes North Central College special.
