If you want to show your appreciation and gratitude to a student (or two), I offer the following suggestion:

A gift of an “Alumni Pin” sold exclusively by “The Alumni Association Executive Board (AAEB) of Centenary College”
 
A gift of one of these distinctive pins is a great way to express your appreciation to your favorite graduate.
 
The pin is one inch in length - the cost is $15.00 each
 
Proceeds from the lapel pin sales enables the AAEB to provide two annual $500 scholarships and other alumni related events (such as the Alumni Welcome party for seniors on May 14, 2013).
 
If interested, please contact me via e-mail.  Checks should be made payable to: Centenary College.  In the memo line, write Alumni Lapel Pin.

Lots of help needed!]]> Dear Faculty and Staff, Thank you for your response to the first email about the Back Barn Restoration Project at the Equestrian Center. The project starts next week – can you feel the excitement?
  • If you have already volunteered  - thank you and I’ll be sending you and email with more information this week. 
  • If you responded that you would like to help, but hadn’t decided on dates yet – please check your calendar and let me know when you can help. PLEASE CHECK DATES WITH YOUR SUPERVISOR FIRST.
  • If you missed the first email – please see below.
Here are the details:
  • Who: We need YOU! Bring a few friends, family members, your dog-walker, your dentist… you get the idea! We need 10 to 12 volunteers per day; and will provide a lunch and beverages for volunteers. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR SUPERVISOR FIRST.
  • When: Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, from Wednesday, July 6 - Saturday, August 27 (barring any unforeseen issues). Start time is 8:30 a.m., we break at noon for lunch and we end the day at 4:00 p.m.
  • Why: The Equestrian Center impacts 140 full-time students, 40 TRAC clients with disabilities, 20 Centenary student instructors-in-training, and 30 community volunteers. Without the Back Barn - the Center’s “command post” - academic and community programs will be jeopardized. With the help of volunteers, a renovated barn will be complete in time for the Fall 2011 semester.  
  • What else: A foreman from Morris Habitat for Humanity will lead volunteers each day. We will document the progress of the project through photographs that will be displayed on the Project’s Facebook page (Centenary College Back Barn Restoration Project). When the project is complete, all volunteers will be invited back for a ribbon cutting and thank-you ceremony. 
We need volunteers to sign up today – your help will make this project a success. I’m here if you have any questions or need more information.
 
Thanks!

A young man with a heart as big as the world who fought a battle like no other and in his time reached out to us all.  On February 17th we told you about how the Centenary College Community was banding together to help David Heard reach his goal of placing one Japanese Crane mobile in every pediatric hospital in the nation.  Read about it here http://tinyurl.com/62dkt77  We wanted to collect 1000 cranes in an effort to assist him and we could not be more proud of the results.  The Centenary Community, both those on Campus and those from afar, were able to create 2000 cranes! That is two whole mobiles made in one night!! To everyone who contributed:  Thank you; you are the reason Centenary College is such an amazing place. There are more events planned for March and April! Join us, in keeping David’s dream alive! No prior knowledge of crane folding is necessary.  There are step by step instructions here: http://monkey.org/~aidan/origami/crane/  just get a 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 inch square piece of paper and get folding!

On Wednesday, February 23rd from 9:30pm – 12am, in The SAC, our goal is to make 1000 cranes to help David’s dream of making 220,000 cranes, to build mobiles to put into every pediatric center in the country. David got the idea to fold paper cranes after seeing a Lafayette student’s performance of the play “A Thousand Cranes”, which is based on the true story of a 12-year-old girl in Japan, who developed leukemia after the atomic bombing in her hometown of Hiroshima in World War II. According to Japanese legend, anyone who folds 1,000 origami cranes will get one wish. Hoping to regain her health, she started folding but died before making a full set.
David was diagnosed two years ago with stage IV neuroblastoma , a rare often deadly cancer of the nervous system that strikes about 750 students a year. After valiant fight David passed away Thursday February 10th. However David’s legacy still continues to live on. To date David has gather about 70,000 cranes and cranes from all over the country continue to come in!
Help us keep David’s dream alive by joining us on the 23rd to fold cranes! No prior knowledge of crane folding is necessary. Just come out bring some friends and get ready to fold. If you cannot make it to the event but would still like to donate cranes contact Teresa Miley at mileyt@centenarycollege.edu]]> Local Community & Hackettstown Events General Releases What's Happening On Campus?

The periphery of a snowstorm hitting deeper in the south has resulted in about an inch of snow as of six am.

Departure was delayed about half an hour to permit snow removal. The group left Morristown at about 6:30 am.

The Coach rental company and the bus drivers are the same professionals that we have used for each of the six years of the trip. They have excellent safety records.

It is expected that the trip will soon take the group out of the area of precipitation. If needs be, the drivers are prepared to delay the trip whenever necessary to maintain safety.
