SOAR has come and gone once again!

This past week, the Class of 2030 and their families were invited onto campus to meet with current students, first-year advisors, faculty, and staff. Students registered for classes, learned about campus resources, and met with various clubs, organizations, and departments. Thanks to the leadership of Dean Mark Miller and Assistant Director of Student Involvement Willisa Gaut, these newest members of our Centenary community can feel confident in their choice to join us!

Special shoutout to all the current students who served as members of the SOAR Leadership Team and as our SOAR Mentors! Without them, SOAR would never be the success it always is.

We are so proud of our alumni who, as Louisiana Life so aptly put it, “have gone on to make significant contributions in business, government, religion, science, and the arts.”

Check out this great post about our beloved Centenary. Thank you, Louisiana Life!

Centenary College holds a unique place in Louisiana history as the state's oldest chartered liberal arts college. Founded in 1825, the institution has educated generations of leaders, educators, ministers, and professionals while helping shape the intellectual development of Louisiana.

The historic campus in Shreveport features beautiful architecture, tree-lined pathways, and buildings that reflect more than a century of educational tradition. Walking through the grounds offers a glimpse into the evolution of higher education in the South.

Throughout its history, the college survived economic hardships, wars, and social change while continuing its mission of education. Alumni have gone on to make significant contributions in business, government, religion, science, and the arts.

Today, the campus remains one of the most beautiful historic educational settings in Louisiana and a symbol of the state's commitment to learning.

Its long history and architectural character make it one of north Louisiana's most important landmarks.

We are so glad to welcome our newest students to campus!!
