In 1973 I went to Centre from New Orleans and graduated with a BA in English in 1977. True, Centre is not as well-known as it deserves to be, but people who are knowledgeable about small liberal arts colleges, usually know it and respect it. I have never felt that some potential employers' lack of knowledge about Centre has hurt my ability to get a job. While there are some drawbacks to a small college compared to larger schools, Centre's community is very special, and this sense of community continues on years after graduation among alumni. At Centre I felt appreciated for my individuality and recognized as a unique person. This was a gift to me. As both an alum and also a university teacher, I can attest to how well Centre is envisioned and managed by its board, president, staff, and faculty: its liberal arts mission, strategic planning, and implementation are seamlessly linked, producing an impressive unity of thought and action. It's a dynamic institution.

Best college ever! If you want your kids to have doors open for them, experience unimaginable opportunities through travel and academic challenges then this is the place to send them. Don't let the tuition figure prevent you from applying! You never know what might come your way. We're 2+ years into our experience at Centre College. The difference it has made for my socially and academically inclined daughter is outstanding. I can't say enough good things about this institution.

Class of 1994 My time at Centre was extraordinary. The education was top-notch, the faculty were all there for us, and the student body were, simply, wonderful people to whom I owe much gratitude for helping me to become a more civilised and productive member of society. There aren’t many such places. I truly thank our lucky stars that I landed so well.

Beautiful campus and town. We were in Danville for another reason but decided to walk through campus since it was a beautiful day and a Centre alum friend recommended it. The glass sculptures on the campus grounds were such a treat to see!

It's great to see everyone at homecoming. I was very impressed with the new stadium and fieldhouse constructed this year. Nice to see that Norton Center for the Arts continues to offer such a great variety of opportunities for the students and community. Congratulations to the college for their continued recognition for outstanding academics and study abroad.
