Centre College

Centre College: 30 Years on Sage Software and Counting

Overview:

Nestled in the Bluegrass hills of Kentucky, Centre College was recently named “the best college or university in the South” by Forbes Magazine.  Seamlessly bridging the gap between old and new, thirteen of its campus buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.  The school is also on the Princeton Review and U.S. Green Building Council’s 2010 list of the nation’s ‘greenest colleges.’  Center College’s alumni include a Chief Justice of the United States, and founder of the Hard Rock Café.

The college provides a first-rate education to approximately 1,215 students from all over the world, and boasts a total endowment of $185 million.  All students are guaranteed an internship, study-abroad experience, and graduation within four years – or else they receive up to a year of tuition-free education.  Within 10 months of graduation, 97 percent of Centre’s students are either employed or engaged in advanced study.

Challenge

Centre College needed to manage and track alumni records, financial statements, donations, and pledge promises with minimal staffing.
