Class of 2026, you are less than two weeks away from joining the greatest alumni network there is. 🎓
We're turning it back to past Commencement Days where graduates closed their chapter as a Centre student — starting a new journey that would lead them back home.
Take a look at the Centre Commencements of faculty and staff alumni.
⛳️ Join us for an afternoon of fun, fellowship, and friendly competition at Topgolf Louisville on June 13!
Connect with fellow Centre alumni and members of our coaching staff while enjoying scramble-style golf, free play, refreshments, and time with your Centre family. Proceeds from the event will support @centreathletics !
This family-friendly event welcomes golfers of all ages and skill levels. Kids are invited to golf, too — and supervision will be available for children who would rather enjoy the kids play area while parents mingle and play.

Fires stoked by Centre faculty and students more than three decades ago were rekindled this month in Danville. A historic wood-fired kiln was put into service after years of disuse, and a recent and extensive restoration effort led by local artists and volunteers, coordinated by the Art Center of the Bluegrass.
The anagama kiln is a traditional Japanese-style wood-fired kiln that seasons hundreds of ceramic creations during a labor-intensive firing process that requires constant, round-the-clock attention throughout a week-long session. The kiln was originally constructed in 1993 by Mack Jackson, Centre art professor Stephen Rolfe Powell ‘74 and Centre College students. Published reports say fewer than 100 anagama kilns are believed to be in operation across the United States.
Centre students were again feeding the “dragon kiln” with senior art major Luke Napier capturing these photos of Reeve Vandemark, Emma Roessler and Riley Parker during one late-night session.
