What does it cost to become a Gold Member?
There are two types of membership options — a single annual membership for $40/year and a joint annual membership (you and a spouse) for $60/year.
What benefits do members receive?
In addition to receiving Centralight magazine, you can fuel your maroon and gold spirit with 20% off at the CMU Bookstore or relive your college days with several restaurant and entertainment benefits. For those who love to travel, you can receive discounts such as up to 20% off on standard room rates at about 1,400 hotels and savings from 5-30% on rental cars.
