What
began as a dream will arrive this September
with the opening of the first phase
of the Ferguson Center for the Arts. To
celebrate this important milestone
in the cultural life of our community, CNU
will be presenting its "first" season

from the worlds of dance, theatre,
music and entertainment that the future
holds.

Endowed Merit Scholarship Challenge

a $1 million lead gift from an anonymous donor, Christopher
Newport University is establishing the CNU Endowed

result in a minimum of $2 million in permanently endowed scholarships, serving
scores of CNU merit student scholars. Read more.

range of the University's constituents, will be managed by
