In this inaugural episode of This Is Centenary, John Atkins reflects on Centenary’s 110th anniversary in Shreveport and his family’s role in bringing the College to the city in 1908. John is a member of the College’s Board of Trustees, and he gave this address during the annual Founders Day Convocation in Brown Chapel on February 22, 2018. This year’s Founders Day Convocation is Thursday, February 14 at 11:00 am, and we hope you’ll consider joining us if you’re in Shreveport.
