Happy Anniversary!

It is my sincere pleasure to officially kick off the 40th anniversary celebration of our beloved CCSA. Through the excellent work of our wonderful staff, board members, and campus representatives, we have survived the worst of the pandemic and are able to move forward into our next forty years!   

I’m reaching out to each of you today to share some helpful information and to let you know how you can help with the 40th anniversary initiative. Your participation will go a long way in helping to excite students and colleagues alike as they look to study abroad in the coming year.

A special shutout to the following:

  • Casey Hindman — CCSA alum, admin, and staff — for her efforts in the branding items and videos
  • Jeffrey Williams — CCSA unofficial historian and academic director — for reaching out and interviewing the memory-keepers of CCSA.
  • Robin Byerly for everything she does for CCSA.
  • Marcie Hinton for leading the 40th anniversary team as we preparing for this launch.

Through their efforts and the contributions of many in the CCSA family, we’ve reach this tremendous mile-stone and will proceed in confidence to our next decade and beyond.

See below for some of the great opportunities to participate in our celebration.

CCSA – 40 stories over 40 years

The history of CCSA, its mission, and especially its people is the stuff of legends.  As we proceed over this year, interviews will be posted on the web site for your view and comment.

 These personal stories make CCSA unlike any other study abroad organization.

40th Anniversary Branding

You can do so by adding the new CCSA logo to your email signature line, to your website, and your social media to let everyone know about this incredible organization.

Following and Promoting CCSA on Social Media

Whether you tweet, ‘gram, Tik-Tok, or keep it classic with Facebook, use your social media megaphone to help spread the news about CCSA programs, scholarships, and opportunities…
