From the Editor
Every issue of Centenary Magazine is its own little celebration of Centenary College and the people whose efforts and accomplishments have made it such a special place, but the Summer 2024 issue brings the first tidings of a truly monumental celebration: the College’s bicentennial in 2025! A full year of celebrations both big and small will kick off on January 8, 2025 (#1.8.25, just like our founding year!) and continue throughout the year. Be sure to visit the official bicentennial site, centenary200.com, to find details on all the bicentennial events as they are released over the next few months. In the meantime, check out the “In the Archives” feature in this edition of the magazine to learn about how Centenary celebrated its centennial in 1925. Many of the 2025 celebrations will likely be very different than those in 1925, but there are strong connections stretching across the College’s two centuries: rigorous scholarship, intellectual curiosity, community engagement, arts and culture, athletics, service, and so much more. The stories in this edition of the magazine reflect some of the current embodiments of that nearly two hundred year old legacy. We hope you enjoy reading about the Centenary College of today while making plans to join our celebration of the past, present, and future of Louisiana’s oldest college!
