The evening will feature food, drinks, music, awards, networking, and a celebration of Black excellence and SLU pride. The dress code is All-Black Cocktail, with a twist: taking it back to the decade you roamed the Southeastern Pride. Whether you were 90’s fine in D. Vickers, letting your soul glow or rocking a fro, or, putting on for the 99s to the 2000s. We want to see your best blackity, black cocktail looks, and your face in the place repping the decade you went to SLU.
