School Notes:
  • Centre’s beautiful campus includes 65 buildings on 150 acres. A multi-million-dollar academic/athletic complex expansion— The College Centre—opened in 2005, and a new, state-of-the-art residence hall will be dedicated in 2009. We have residential programs in England, France, and Mexico, plus exchange programs in England, Northern Ireland, and Japan, all for about the same cost as study in Danville.
  • A top-50 national liberal arts college, Centre is recognized by U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review, and The Fiske Guide to Colleges, among many others, as one of America's best educational bargains.
  • Centre is a total experience that enhances great teaching with a diverse array of out-of-class activities (including leadership opportunities, service projects, guest lectures, athletics, arts groups, clubs, and societies) that add enormously to your education.
  • Internationally known artists (Mikhail Baryshnikov, Wynton Marsalis, Willie Nelson) perform at our world-class Norton Center for the Arts. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor gave our commencement address in 2004. In 2000 we held the only Vice Presidential Debate of the year between now-Vice President Dick Cheney and his Democratic opponent, Sen. Joe Lieberman. Our students regularly win the nation's most prestigious awards for undergraduates (Goldwater, Truman) and post-graduates (Rhodes, Rotary, Fulbright).
