The faculty and staff at CPC seek to help our students grow; not only spiritually and academically, but socially as well. We encourage all of our students to branch out and experience life. Whether that is by joining a club on campus, getting involved with a campus ministries project, or simply bringing in their friends to one of our community events. At CPC our wish is for our students to become leaders in their social groups, as well as in their communities.
Social activities involving students with each other, and with teachers and Life Counselors help to build important family, community, and professional life skills such as team building, negotiation, leadership, empathic support and cooperation. The friendships that CPC students build now can enrich their entire life.

Student Activities
Tutoring
Should you need any tutoring for any of your courses, the first step to take is to meet with you instructor to inform them that you would like additional help with the subject. The teacher should then refer you to speak with your Life Counselor who has a list of tutors available for different subjects.
