by Cento Staff A few months ago, the Cento dispensed a survey to gather student opinions on various campus concerns, such as housing, wages, Greek Life, campus safety, disability accommodations, and more.

by Aelwen Iredale Dry Stack and The Hub are Danville staples for the poor, caffeine-addicted students of Centre, especially for the ones who need to escape the confines of campus but don’t have the cars to do it. However, what do you do when one member of your friend group wants to go to Dry…

by McKenzie Snellgrove Entering your freshman year of college can be one of the most terrifying experiences you’ve ever had, and yet, at the same time, one of the most exciting! College can be intimidating, unfamiliar, isolating, and overwhelming, especially during the first few weeks. When I was a freshman, I found myself wondering if…

by Adam West and Hadley O’Bryan I have heard the wind for some time now, at least 4 hours. I’m waiting for my class to start, hoping that the tempest outside will calm. The shutters jump in fear, as do I. I plug in my devices, hoping the power doesn’t go out. I get news…

by The Student Association for Social Justice and Equity (SASJE) Disabled students at Centre College struggle to be heard. Rather than reflecting on the college’s systemic prejudices, administration sweeps our stories under the rug, pretends they never happened, and allays complaints with the sweet promise, “We only want to have a dialogue with students.” Yet…

by Duffy Oakley All across the country this year, college campuses have been rife with protests, strikes, walk-outs and other student mobilizations.

For $3,900, or $2,340 if you live off-campus, students can take classes which may…

by Teresa Curry In a recent ENS 230 field trip, students got to see the inner workings of Danville’s recycling center. We had the opportunity to help sort through the various types of plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and milk cartons on a conveyor belt. The experience itself was fascinating, as we were able to see…

by Connor Parks Admit it. Whoever you are, you’ve had that inevitable moment strolling through campus, observing each building surrounding you, and thinking to yourself something along the lines of, “Why are they all so…different?” How can a form so robust and imposing as the Norton Center coexist with the smoother, more traditionally straightlaced lines…

by Noah Calhoun One of the most visible locations on Centre’s campus over the last few semesters has been the under-construction, now open Champions Hall, previously referred to as the IWAE by students and faculty alike. This massive $70 million complex behind Crounse and Young has felt confusing to many members of the student body.…
