The partnership also brings customized financial education programs to campus—including dedicated support for international students and student-athletes—as well as a new Central Bank Financial Resource Center in the Mabee Learning Center. Central Bank will be actively involved in key campus events, while also contributing annually to Park’s Student Success Fund. “This partnership is about more than banking—it’s about investing in the student experience and supporting the Park community for years to come,” said Bill Ferguson, President and CEO of Central Bank of the Midwest.
