A Message to Birmingham-Southern College students from Centenary President Christopher L. Holoman:

We were heartbroken to hear the news that Birmingham-Southern College, a wonderful liberal arts institution that has meant so much to the city of Birmingham, will close. We know that you are also mourning the loss of an institution that has changed so many lives and that you chose as your college home. Centenary College welcomes you as you search for the institution that best meets your educational needs and goals.

• Centenary College has signed a Teach-Out Agreement with Birmingham-Southern allowing a smooth transition for all students.
