We started a new tradition with our 70’s Night and 80’s Night basketball games in 2010, with a school-hosted cocktail hour before the games for all alumni from those decades. The events were very popular, so we are adding another night for the Sixties!
The decade nights include a free wine and cheese reception before the game and a special VIP viewing section for all alumni. Last year, the games coincided with Spirit Week activities on campus and students were encouraged to dress in their best 70’s and 80’s attire. See if you still fit in your high school duds and join in the fun!
Dates for these fun evenings are below, and for more information contact Suzanne Martin at 510-995-9456.
