Celebration
FAITH, ARTS
& CULTURE
2016-17
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
On December 10, 1866, the Buffalo Male and
Female Institute was officially chartered by the
state of Tennessee. In 1881, Josephus Hopwood
elevated the school to collegiate rank and
renamed it Milligan College.
In 2016, 150 years later, Milligan is celebrating its
sesquicentennial by hosting a number of faith, arts,
and culture events that commemorate the college’s
rich history. Join us as we celebrate a very special
occasion for Buff Nation.
This icon means the event has been especially
planned for the Milligan sesquicentennial celebration.
All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Schedule subject to change. Visit www.milligan.edu/arts for more information.
Thank you to our current sesquicentennial year sponsors.*
