2026 Athletic Training

Dear Central athletic training alumni, former athletes and program supporters,

As I look back on the years I spent as part of the Central Athletic Training program, I remember most the relationships we built, the lessons we learned and the experiences that helped shape who we are today. The program has had a lasting impact on countless students, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.

Today, I am reaching out to ask you to consider giving back and supporting Central Athletic Training with a monetary gift. Your contribution, no matter the amount, can make a meaningful difference in helping provide the resources and opportunities needed to continue strengthening the program for future professional students and student-athletes. While the program may look different than when you were here, know that the staff still maintains a high level of expectation, energy and professionalism. 

Your support can help with things like equipment, educational opportunities, professional development and student experiences that allow the program to continue providing a strong foundation for aspiring athletic trainers and student athletes.

As alumni, you have a unique opportunity to invest in the program that invested in you. A gift is not simply a financial contribution—it is a way to honor the people and program who influenced you, support the students who are following in your footsteps and help ensure that Central Athletic Training continues to thrive for years to come.

As a retired faculty member, I remain so proud of each of you and the difference you continue to make - in whatever field you’re in. I miss the daily interaction with colleagues and students, and I cherish the times I get to interact with graduates of our program. Central College is a special place and with your help, we can continue to make a lasting impact.

Thank you for consideration in supporting Central Athletic Training and for being part of its continued legacy.

With appreciation,

John Roslien, Retired Athletic Training Education Program Director Central College 1986-2025
