     �鶹��Ƶ is quickly approaching a major milestone in its storied history – its 100th year. To commemorate this auspicious occasion, �鶹��Ƶ will kick off a year-long Centennial celebration, filled with events and initiatives, on Sept. 12.
     Beginning at 2 p.m., in the Student Union breezeway, �鶹��Ƶ will honor its 99th birthday. The university will make a surprise announcement and present guest speakers, as well as distribute giveaways to attendees.
     “Opening its doors on Sept. 14, 1925, �鶹��Ƶ celebrates a century of impact! Awarding over 95,000 degrees since its inception, our beloved university has strengthened communities, built economies, and advanced generational prosperity for families throughout Southeast Louisiana, our nation and across the globe,” said �鶹��Ƶ President William S. Wainwright. “Please join us as we celebrate our past and vision for our future as we launch our Centennial celebration.”
     Throughout the year, �鶹��Ƶ will offer a wide array of opportunities to get involved with the celebration. Area restaurant partners will offer signature 100th anniversary dishes or drinks, and lectures and concerts are scheduled during the fall 2025 Centennial Fanfare. At most events, attendees will have the opportunity to sign their name in the Centennial Signature Book, which will be archived for future generations to cherish.
     A special volunteerism campaign will also be part of the year-long celebration, in which volunteers can log hours of service to collectively reach 100 weeks of giving back.
