Messiah College is pleased to offer a year-long calendar of events designed to commemorate its 100th anniversary in 2009-2010. Below is the list of official Centennial events—i.e., events that integrate the Centennial theme and are being planned in coordination with the Centennial Committee. As additional Centennial event details are finalized, they will appear on this calendar, so be sure to visit it frequently in the coming year.

 

We invite you to join us in celebrating Messiah College's 100 years of "shared faith, bold vision, and enduring promise!"
