Our cocktail reception has been moved from the Party Deck at the stadium to the Rutgers Visitor Center! The Kansas football team will be arriving later than expected and will need to use the stadium on Friday evening, so the marching band will move to their practice field across from the Visitor Center. Therefore we are changing our location and schedule in order to allow guests to view the marching band practice prior to the cocktail reception. Guests will be greeted by members of the 100th Anniversary Committee. Special guests from Mason Gross School of the Arts and Rutgers Athletics will attend, and after their rehearsal, Band Director Tim Smith and select undergraduate band members will stop by. But not to worry— this won’t be an evening of speeches! This smaller social gathering will provide a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends.

 

$40 per person. Registration is limited to 75 people.

Includes food, wine and beer, non-alcoholic beverages, dessert, coffee and tea.
