| “One of my good friends here at Centre is actually an exchange student from Vietnam. When we traveled in Vietnam during the Centre term, his parents took us out to a snake lunch one afternoon in Hanoi. It was an incredible experience. Had it not been for Centre’s international studies program, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity.” | |

| "Over the past 25 years Centre College’s Norton Center for the Arts has quietly built itself into one of Kentucky’s leading presenters of diverse, significant performances.” | |

| Endowments – known
collectively as the New Horizons Fund – can also be established
to enhance and underwrite current curricular and co-curricular programs.
This fund will allow the College to provide new opportunities for
its students that, together with its core academic program, will
empower them to live lives of learning, leadership, and service. Each New Horizons Fund initiative needs $1 million or more in new endowment gifts. Assuming a payout rate of 5 percent, an endowment of $1 million would provide $50,000 in program support annually. Likewise, a $500,000 gift to endow a New Horizons Fund initiative would provide $25,000 annually, and a $100,000 gift would provide $5,000 in annual program support. |

| “To have an endowed fund that we can rely upon year after year to give our students up-to-date experiences in the laboratory...is invaluable for them. This is a critical part of our campaign. It gets to the very core of what we're trying to do for our students in terms of doing an excellent job of preparing them for what lies beyond Centre.” |
