Centre College

In October the college dedicated The College Centre, the recently opened $22 million state-of-the-art academic and athletic/recreation complex. Instead of a traditional ribbon cutting ceremony at the dedication, College officials brought together ribbons at the arch between Crounse Hall and Sutcliffe Hall to unite the two buildings that represent the life of the mind and body. The College Centre is supported by gifts made to the Capital Improvements Fund, a $15 million quasiendowment fund that is part of the Campaign for A More Perfect Centre.

Columbia Seminary

Presenters include Daniel Migliore, Amy Plantinga Pauw and George Stroup. For more information go to www.ctsnet.edu.
