Central State University is excited to introduce the Marauder Family Portal, a new tool designed to keep families informed, involved, and connected throughout their student’s college experience. 

Sponsored by Central State's Office of First- and Second-Year Student Success (FSYSS) and powered by CampusESP, the portal provides families with personalized updates, key campus news, important deadlines, and helpful resources — from financial aid and housing to academic support and career readiness. It’s part of CSU’s commitment to building a strong support system around every Marauder. 

“At Central State, we know that student success is a shared effort,” said Adrienne Byrd, Director of Strategic Programs and Retention in First- and Second-Year Student Success. “By providing families with access to relevant, real-time information, we’re creating a stronger network of support around each student."

"This platform reflects our commitment to building a connected, informed, and empowered Marauder community.” — Adrienne Byrd

With multilingual options, curated content, and access to campus events and resources, the portal is designed to meet families where they are — whether they’re navigating college for the first time or continuing a proud tradition of higher education. 

Family engagement has proven to boost student success, and CSU is proud to offer this new platform as part of our ongoing efforts to support persistence, belonging, and achievement.
