At Olivet College, we believe that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for everyone so success must be defined per the individual student.

Senior Ryan Anderson didn’t need a push; he needed to kick in the right direction, which he did.

As the starting punter for Olivet College’s football team, Ryan has earned numerous awards for his performance, including back-to-back... Read more

Charlotte High School (CHS) students will now be able to take that first step toward a career in the growing insurance industry by taking an insurance course while earning free college credits, thanks to a new partnership between Olivet College and Charlotte Public...
