  1. Announcements – which contains all important announcements for the college.
  2. News – which primarily contains news from our Public Relations department, and Athletics results/news.
The goal of this change is to allow for greater exposure of announcements, which were previously 'lost' within the volume of PR/Athletics news.  Other enhancements include:
  • Sorting by date the announcement was made for improved readability.
  • Clicking a news heading opens the news article within my.Centenary instead of a new window – also for improved readability.
ITS would like to thank members of the Campus Life department and student body for their enhancement suggestions and on-going support for this endeavor.
 
More enhancements are forthcoming, as we continually strive to improve our all our services to you, our customers.
