Welcome to Centenary's National Alumni Association!

2007 graduates: Welcome to the National Alumni Association! There are no dues or fees—you are automatically a member of the Association and, as such, are entitled to all privileges and benefits of membership. Your membership card has recently been mailed to you. Please join your fellow alumni at an upcoming alumni event such as the new alumni welcome mixer in Houston.

Students Can Still Apply to Attend Centenary This Fall

Centenary's Office of Admissions is still accepting applications for the Fall Semester. Alumni referrals are a tremendous help to your alma mater. Please direct interested parents and/or incoming freshmen to the Admissions website.

Centenary Summer Band Concert Series

Come back to campus for these fun and free events. Centenary College's Summer Band Concerts will be held Tuesday nights, June 19 and 26 and July 3 in the Hargrove Band Shell on Centenary's campus. All performances begin at 8 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring seat cushions, lawn chairs and picnic baskets for the evening.

Annual Book Bazaar Assisted Donation Days

Want to donate books, CDs, DVDs, or videotapes in good condition to the Centenary College Book Bazaar? The first assisted-donation day will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the bazaar’s Book House, located at 108 East Kings Highway across the street from George’s Grill on Monday, June 11, 2007. Volunteers will be on hand to unload books from donors’ vehicles. Additional assisted donation days are scheduled on July 9 and August 13. Funds from the bazaar go toward student projects and activities that are sometimes not covered by the college budget. The 21st anniversary Centenary Book Bazaar is scheduled for September 7 and 8 at the Gold Dome on the Centenary campus. It is sponsored each year by the Centenary Muses. For more information, call the Book House at (318) 219-3409 or Centenary at (318) 869-5162. Please note that textbooks over five years old, with the exception of literature and history books, along with Reader’s Digest condensed books and National Geographic magazines are not requested.

IMPORTANT: Security Updates Affect Alumni Web Users

Current alumni users of Centenary's Secure Online Community : For added security, the system has changed and now requires personal identification number (PIN) to be reset to a randomly generated number rather than the user's birthdate. The new PIN will need to be mailed to the user UNLESS he/she has a security question entered into the system.

Visit the online community NOW to select a security question and answer for your account so that in the future you will be able to reset your password.

Want to become a member of Centenary's Secure Online Community? It is a simple, free, and private way for all Centenary alumni to search for friends, make new connections, and tell about important events in your life. Create your account now!

End of Year Gifts: Support Your Alma Mater Now

Please support your alma mater by making an online gift of any amount now. Your contribution WILL make a difference in the lives of current students AND will assist in reaching our annual goals. Every dollar helps. By making an online contribution now, you will also insure that your name appear in the annual honor roll of donors.
