Music Department Presents Mozart’s Classic Comic Opera, “Cosi Fan Tutte”
Central Piedmont’s Music Department is excited to present Mozart’s classic comic opera, “Cosi Fan Tutte.” In this modern interpretation, the opera is set in the present day on Central Piedmont’s Central Campus, and will be sung in English. Hilarity ensues as our two heroes make a wager that their girlfriends will be faithful to them no matter what the circumstance. Mozart’s beautiful melodies and timeless topics give us no choice but to look and laugh at ourselves honestly. You’ll want to find out who wins this wager.
Performances are March 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m., and March 29 at 2:30 p.m. in the Halton Theater.
For tickets, visit tix.cpcc.edu or call the SunTrust box office at ext. 6534. Central Piedmont students with a valid Central Piedmont ID will get FREE admission. Non-Central Piedmont student tickets are $5 with a valid student ID.

Name Changes for College’s Two Largest Units
Central Piedmont recently re-named the college’s two largest units to better align with other institutions across the nation. The Learning Unit is now called Academic Affairs, and the Enrollment and Student Services Unit is now called Student Affairs. These new unit names also reinforce our unified and focused vision in helping our students reach their academic, personal, and career goals.
Academic Affairs places learning first and is committed to delivering an exceptional educational experience that prepares students to become leaders in their professions and communities.
Student Affairs assists with campus-wide programming and offers a variety of support services designed to positively impact the student experience at each Central Piedmont campus.
While these unit names have changed, our dedicated staff and faculty are always here to help you reach your full potential by connecting you to the many services, resources, and academic programs available at Central Piedmont.
Make it Count! Participate in the 2020 Census.
Have you heard about the 2020 Census? Census Day is April 1, 2020, but we are already spreading the word about how important the census is to Mecklenburg County.
Why?
Because the census brings valuable resources to our community, such as federal funding for things such as healthcare, education, and transportation.
The census is a count taken every 10 years of every person in the U.S. It’s convenient, safe, and required. In the weeks leading up to the Census Day, you will receive a letter in the mail from the census asking you to respond online. Don’t have a computer? That’s okay. You can participate by phone or request a paper copy.
*International students and students with special needs: Please note there will be online and phone options available in English and 12 other languages. Also, the census will make available print and video language guides in 59 languages, including American Sign Language, braille, and large print guides.
It only takes a few minutes to ensure your family is counted. Everyone counts – from newborns to senior citizens! To learn more, visit MeckCounts2020.com.
