Dear [ ],

We are delighted that you will join us Saturday, April 29, for our Centennial Gala. The excitement is building as we prepare to greet you, honor Senator Sam Nunn Jr. 61L 62L, and welcome President Bill Clinton as our keynote speaker.

As a result of the enthusiasm for this historic event, we have exceeded the capacity of the St. Regis Hotel to accommodate us.

Instead, we are pleased to welcome you home to campus, to celebrate the centennial of Emory Law. More specifically, as Emory University has for many of its most important gatherings in the past, we will be transforming the George W. Woodruff PE Center into a grand ballroom, to host the gala of a century for Emory Law. (A rendering is below.) Please join us for a cocktail reception at 6:30 p.m. with seating for dinner beginning at 7:15 p.m., on Saturday, April 29. As you know, the attire will be black-tie optional. No other Centennial events will be moved from their original locations.

The Woodruff PE Center is located on Emory’s campus, at 26 Eagle Row, Atlanta, Georgia 30322. Ample free parking is available at the Peavine Parking Lot immediately next to the building, at 27 Eagle Row.

For those who are staying at The St. Regis, we will run a shuttle to campus, leaving from the hotel entrance at 5:45 p.m. and returning at the end of the evening.

Listed at the bottom of this email are all the Centennial events for which you are registered, as well as the number of guests you’ve indicated you will bring to each. Registration for the gala is now closed but to attend any other weekend events, review the schedule and register here.

If you have any questions, please email us or call 404-712-5656. We look forward to welcoming you back to campus very soon!

Regards,

Robert
