Senior Soiree 2009

Friday, May 8, 2009 6:30pm-8:30pm
Fields Dining Room
Templeton Campus Center

Please join fellow graduating seniors in a celebratory evening honoring graduating seniors. Autry Liggett '09 will emcee the event.

The evening will include toasts to seniors from fellow seniors and faculty, a welcome from the Alumni Association, live music, and a wonderful Northwest buffet featuring organic and sustainable foods catered by Bon Appetit. To complement the rich flavors of our Northwest spread, we will also feature Oregon-grown wines. Seating is limited to 400 graduating seniors.

The buffet is complimentary to graduating seniors, and this is a senior-only event, with several other invited guests. A Senior Soiree ticket is required for entrance. Buffet includes buffet dinner, dessert, coffee, tea and two glasses of wine or champagne or non-alcoholic beverages. You will receive two drink tickets as you enter. Beverages will be poured at your table by wait staff.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. for festival seating. The only reserved tables are those for program participants. Buffet lines open at 6:30 p.m. The short formal program begins at 7:;30 p.m.

Dress is business casual, but you're welcome to "dress to the nines."
