CBC PROFILE: CBC Admissions

CBC’s Stampede Preview Days are fast approaching! These events are the best time to check out the whole CBC experience. Attendees will get to tour the campus, attend chapel, meet students and faculty and enjoy a hot, delicious lunch from our cafeteria. Plus, a $250 CBC scholarship will be given to every student that attends! Our next Stampede Day is happening on March 8. You can sign up at cbc.edu/visit. Feel free to bring your friends and family.

Are you a homeschooler or the guardian of a homeschooler? We have a special event just for you! Our first annual Homeschool Stampede Preview Day will take place on March 29! Tailored exclusively for homeschool students, families that attend will go to special sessions that cover pre-college testing like the Accuplacer, how to enroll as a concurrent high school student or full-time college student and talk with Financial Aid about scholarships and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, there are opportunities to meet our students, faculty and athletic coaches. A free, hot lunch is included from our cafeteria, and the opportunity to attend chapel and win door prizes. All students who attend will be given a $250 CBC scholarship. Families, guardians and students can sign up at cbc.edu/visit.

Do you know what our Admissions Department loves about spring? Campus tours! This is the perfect time to book your campus tour, whether you are a prospective student, pastor with youth group students, families or a teacher and/or school counselor wanting to bring your class. All are welcome and invited! Each tour is personalized to the student or group, and students can even bring their friends or favorite person to make the most of their experience. You can schedule your personalized tour at cbc.edu/visit. If you are bringing a group of students, contact us at admissions@cbc.edu for dates, times and a customized itinerary.

The Admissions Department and the Pace Program welcome new Pace Enrollment Coordinator Kayleigh Smith to Central Baptist College. As an alum of the school (’16), Kayleigh is excited to enter the role and help adult and online learners earn their college degrees. Kayleigh earned her BA in English from CBC, and she played on the Women’s Soccer team. She earned her M.Ed. from William Woods University in Fulton, Mo. Kayleigh is married to Ryan Smith (’16 alum), and they have a son, Kelley James. She is a member of Antioch Baptist Church in Conway. Before beginning as the new Pace enrollment coordinator at CBC, Kayleigh’s love for sports, specifically soccer, led her to become a high school soccer coach, where she led teams to the state playoffs multiple times. While coaching, she held a sports information director (SID) and admissions role at Episcopal Collegiate School, then continued to work in the SID role while teaching business classes at Beebe High School. Kayleigh also has a background in corporate marketing and is eager to apply those skills, as well as her expertise in education, to her new role at CBC.
