WINE AND SCHOLARSHIPS
The Greater Augusta Alumni Network Wine and Scholarship Event was held on Thursday, March 24, at The Foundry at Rae’s Creek in Augusta and attended by nearly 150 alumni. The event was held to raise funds for the recently created Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) Alumni Scholarship. Once endowed, the scholarship will be awarded to a student from the CSRA area. Alumni enjoyed wine tasting led by local wine columnist and blogger Dennis Sodomka, hors d’oeuvres from Roux’s Catering along with a silent auction and live auction led by alumnus Alex Grovenstein (’02). The evening was highlighted by remarks from President Marrero.
COLLEGIATE 100 ALUMNI
Alumni from the Collegiate 100, an Armstrong Campus student organization chartered under a local chapter by the 100 Black Men of America, came back to the Armstrong Campus for Alumni Weekend, April 22-24, to celebrate 13 years of impact on young Black men. The weekend kicked off with an alumni-led panel on career fields for students and then put their leadership into action with a community service project. The event concluded with a black-tie dinner, held in celebration of the successes of the current Armstrong chapter.
ALL IN AT SOUTHERN ROYALE
Atlanta area alumni donned their Vegas chic and went “all in” at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Feb. 25 for “Southern Royale.” As the outside of the stadium was lit up in blue and white, around 260 alumni enjoyed a private Georgia Southern event in the Delta Club with casino entertainment games throughout the evening. The event was sponsored by alumni-owned businesses Capital City Public Affairs, Macon Occupational Medicine and the Michael C. Gibbs Agency.
