Newswise — Wayne Meisel, president of The Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation, will address the audience at Centre College's 187th commencement ceremony to be held at the College's Norton Center for the Arts on Sunday, May 23, 2010, at 3 p.m. During the ceremony, Meisel will receive an honorary degree from the College.

"The Bonner Scholars Program on Centre's campus reinforces the strong culture of service and civic engagement that exists at the College, and we're honored to have Mr. Meisel speaking to us this spring at Commencement," says Centre President John Roush. "He has been the intellectual architect of the Bonner Scholars programs across America, and has spent his career championing student involvement in community service and civic engagement - things that are at the core of Centre's mission. I am confident he will be impressed and inspired by our Commencement Exercises, a day each year in the life of the College that truly honors those young men and women who graduate superbly prepared for their lives of work and service."
