Centenary is undertaking a focused strategy refresh — Secure the Third Century — to develop a clear 10-year direction for the institution. The effort is concentrated in a three-month action window (June–August 2026) and is structured around three strategic priorities: driving enrollment growth, anchoring Shreveport-Bossier through campus and corridor, and building a sustainable financial engine. The result will be a board-ready investment case and strategic plan presented in August 2026.


Three Strategic Priorities

  • Drive Enrollment Growth - brand, programs & target markets
  • Transform Campus & Corridor - Shreveport - Bossier & community hub
  • Build the Financial Engine - investment, revenue & governance
