Louisville Magazine x Centre College Class of 2024

Dear soon-to-graduate members of the Centre College class of 2024,

I’ll be among the speakers at your May 19th commencement. What a great honor to be part of your final ritual and celebration at Centre.

I know you’re busy in these final weeks, but I hoped you might take 30 seconds to answer the three questions below with one word or phrase each. Don’t worry, no grades and no judgment — in fact, the responses are anonymous. I want to learn a bit about your outlook on the future, which I’ll share back when we’re gathered on the 19th.

Thanks in advance and see you soon,

Matthew Barzun
