CapFam: A Network of Thousands

05/15/19 • 28 min

We’re more than 40,000 strong, living, working and contributing to communities across the U.S. and around the world, and we all share a common bond. We’re a family, not a nation. We’re CapFam, and we look out for each other. We’re eager to help because one day not long ago, someone helped us, too. That’s what family does. Join us for our final episode, with Admission Counselor Emily Ragland, and Beth Paul, President of Capital University!

ReCap: Season One

CapChat Season 2 launches in February! As we gear up for Season 2, we decided to smoosh the very best of season 1 into a single episode just for you. From student success tips and demystifying financial aid to life as a student-athlete and the best of Columbus, we’ve crammed our Season 1 favs into about 30 minutes. (Don’t worry, you can still listen to the full episodes online or watch them on YouTube.) So, if you’re brand new to CapChat, welcome! If you’re a loyal fan, thanks for coming back! We have even more CapFam to introduce you to this season. We’ll do a deeper dive into areas of study with “Majors and Careers” episodes featuring professors and current students answering top questions parents and students ask during visits. And as always, you’ll get advice from staff and current students about their experiences, success stories, lessons learned, and their advice to incoming students on how to get the most out of life at Capital. So whether you’ve chosen Capital or you’re still making up your mind, settle in, grab your earbuds, and come meet the fam on CapChat.
