## Summary

**Commends Centenary College of Louisiana on its bicentennial and for decades of service to the State of Louisiana and the United States.** The resolution traces the school's origins to the 1825 founding of the College of Louisiana and the 1845 merger that established Centenary as the state's oldest institution and the oldest chartered liberal arts college west of the Mississippi. It highlights the college's relocation to Shreveport, the Gold Dome, national rankings, its economic impact on Northwest Louisiana, and recent growth in enrollment and programs.
