Unveiling the Official Centennial Painting

As part of the Centennial Kickoff on October 1, 2024, Southeastern proudly unveiled its official Centennial painting, created by renowned artist Becky Fos. Titled Lion Up and sponsored by Coca-Cola, this painting is a vibrant and textured masterpiece that captures the energy, resilience, and legacy of our university’s 100 years. Fos’ bold use of color and dynamic brushwork brings to life iconic imagery that resonates deeply with the Southeastern community, making it a fitting tribute to the university’s rich history and enduring spirit.

The unveiling was one highlight of a celebratory event that included guest speakers, the announcement of the “Get There Together” fundraising campaign, the debut of Centennial videos, a special message from alumna Robin Roberts, and more.

Fos’ artwork now stands as a visual centerpiece of the Centennial celebrations, symbolizing a century of achievements and the enduring spirit of Southeastern.
