Hello, my name is Ethan Davis. At the time of writing this (the night before Commencement 2025), I am a graduating senior in Centenary’s bicentennial class of 2025. I’ve successfully completed the requirements for my degree as a Studio Art major, with a minor in Music: Vocal Performance… My senior art exhibit, A Cartoon’s Weakness, is the final culmination of what all the hard work has led to. I’m truly honored to have had the opportunity to experience and create something at this level, both professionally and personally. . .

National Chemistry Week is “a public awareness campaign that promotes the value of chemistry in everyday life.” The week, celebrated by the American Chemical Society (ACS), is full of fun events that communicate the importance of chemistry. . .

Art, in all its vastness, is more than just a medium of expression; it's a fundamental way of understanding and interacting with the world. Through artistic mediums like painting, drawing, singing, dancing, theatre, film, pottery, and more, individuals are able to explore their identities, communicate feelings, and find their way through society through limitless creativity. However, despite its significance to the world, teaching young people art has become increasingly marginalized in the American education system. . .

Women in STEM (WIS) is an organization founded in August of 2023 with the goal of creating a space for the various women at Centenary College who have an interest in the field of STEM, granting them opportunities to collaborate with their peers, and find opportunities to explore their interest. The idea of this organization came to fruition when Founders Summer Faust and Manisha Menon attended a Q&A for another rising organization in which a student asked about the opportunities for Engineering students. . .

“HEY! Come play on the swings with us!” College is often equated to a playground, a place to explore new connections, take risks, and learn new things about yourself and the world in which you live. However, at Centenary, the once vibrant ‘playground’ of college life now feels empty. If college is a place for growth and discovery, why do many Centenary students find it challenging to connect and socialize with one another?

Centenary College is home to a vibrant community of artists, each telling their unique perspectives of life and identity through their art and creativity. Among them is Azire Muhammad, a talented visual artist, storyteller, and animator whose latest project displayed in the Meadows Museum this past February, "Lilt," has captivated audiences with its profound exploration of life, change, and inspiration. . .

Recently, popular streaming services have changed their subscription models and increased prices. Movies and series college students want to watch are spread out across all these different platforms, and with a cracking down on sharing accounts, it is only getting more costly for the average individual. . .

Centenary College celebrates the school’s 200th anniversary by opening a historical exhibition hosted in the Meadows Museum. On January 13th, the Meadows Museum held an opening reception to celebrate this Bicentennial exhibition. The exhibition traces the timeline of the college from 1825 to the present, showing an evolution of certain aspects of the campus, including athletics, Greek life, arts, and other activities or developments. . .

As February comes to an end, the Centenary Conglomerate takes a look back at all of the events aimed at highlighting Black History Month. Various organizations around campus, such as the Black Student Union and Red River Poetry Society came together to celebrate Centenary’s Black students during this month . . .

On November 2 and 3 the Centenary College Choir performed their 76th annual Rhapsody in View concert. This concert, started by A.C. “Cheesy” Voran in 1950, allows the choir to showcase their repertoire that spans “from Bach to Broadway.” This year, the elements of the program were loosely centered around “The Elements of Creation,” and featured songs from several genres and composers, which included student written pieces . . .

February is nationally dedicated to celebrating and recognizing Black American’s history, culture, and contributions to the U.S. It is a time to support and uplift Black voices in all fields and manners. There are online resources and articles you can check out- Good Good Good Co. offers . . .

This fall semester the Centenary Theatre Program put on Metamorphoses with director Jared Watson. Metamorphoses is a play by Mary Zimmerman based on the early narrative poem of the same name written by Ovid. The play takes the shape of a series of short scenes related to each other initially through the fact that they are Greek and Roman myths and slowly leading to an ultimate intertwining of previous threads.

There is a, sort of, chill in the air, the sun is setting earlier and earlier, and a pumpkin spice latte is permanently in my hand; this can only mean one thing, it is fall y’all. With temperatures finally below sweltering,  Fall is the perfect time in Louisiana to get out and enjoy all that our city has to offer. Here is everything you need to know to enjoy this season:

Having the feeling of falling behind in class can be an overwhelming and intimidating experience, but it is not the end of the world, even if it feels like it is. In this article, we will look at some practical and strategic solutions to help you get back on track with your studies . . .

Since Halloween is right around the corner (somehow) I think we need to get our plans together. If you are like me, you are not a barhopping, late-night partyer that plans on taking advantage of those kinds of festivities. Or if you want a cozy night in before the real fun begins then you are going to need the essentials: candles, candies, fall themed blanket, and most importantly, Halloween movies . . .

Having fun on Halloween can take a couple of different forms for the college student, but no matter what you’re doing it’s important to be safe. We reached out to DPS for their insight on what will keep your evening from becoming a real life horror show.

Our favorite local movie theatre is always showing new or interesting shows, and as a reminder, you can go for free with your student ID! But what’s even on these days?

At this point in the semester you might be starting to notice that the study habits you carried over from high school might not be as effective as they once were. This could be signified by a decrease in the grades you once had, finding yourself not knowing where to even start studying, or a general feeling of being overwhelmed. If this is you, then I implore you to keep reading . . .
