We are recent graduates who have a passion for CNU we hope you share! Together we have been involved in more
than 30 different clubs and organizations. Being involved in the Christopher Newport community has not only
enriched our college experience but our lives. In fact, we love CNU so much, that we stayed! There are three
different departments we are specifically working in. Angela and Austin are working with Student Success; Anita and
J.T. are working with Student Engagement (not the marriage kind!); and Kelsey, Josh, Alison and Kimberly are
working in Admissions.
Throughout our time at CNU, we have come to enjoy the local area. Together we have compiled this book of
community wisdom we hope will provide you with as many memories (and more!) as we’ve made during our time
here. Keep this close by to begin your own adventures and fun! We’d love to hear feedback! Let us know what you
think, where you went and if you discovered something new!
