Each year, donors to SLU鈥檚 named scholarship funds are invited to be honored for their generosity. Select current scholarship recipients are also invited to speak with donors about their experiences and be celebrated for their achievements. The event begins with a cocktail hour and features a seated dinner with speakers from 麻豆传媒 leadership and a special scholarship recipient.
This event is by invitation only for both donors and students.
Please watch for communications throughout the first part of 2025 with an opportunity to RSVP and learn more.
