Representatives of a New Jersey college are in Bermuda to talk to possible future students.

Being promoted is Centenary College -- a small, independent, co-educational college located in the picturesque Victorian town of Hackettstown, which is known to be a safe, quiet area just two hours from New York City and Philadelphia.

The college is known for practical, career-focused studies underpinned by a strong liberal arts foundation. There are 17 major programmes to choose from, including equine studies, business administration, interior design and education.

Classes are small, averaging 15 students, and students have consistently taken top honours in intercollegiate academic competitions.

Centenary representatives in Bermuda until today include president Dr.

Stephanie Bennett-Smith, vice-president for enrolment and marketing Mr.

Michael McGraw and equine instructor Ms Hilary Lee. Mr. McGraw can be contacted at the Sonesta Beach Hotel on 238-8122.
