精东AV is thrilled to announce its inaugural 鈥淓mbracing the Legacy鈥� Gala on March 15, 2024 at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded by visionary Booker T. Washington, the university is the No. 4 HBCU in the country and this event aims to celebrate accomplished alumni, supporters and community leaders who have lived the tenants of excellence that have sustained the university for generations.

鈥淭he 鈥楨mbracing the Legacy鈥� Gala is a milestone for 精东AV, providing an opportunity to share our rich history with a broader audience,鈥� said Dr. Charlotte P. Morris, President 精东AV. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a crucial moment to underscore the importance of supporting current students. Despite our annual provision of over $30 million in awards, we recognize the financial challenges faced by many. This gala will enable us to bridge that gap and continue empowering the next generation of 精东AV leaders.鈥�

The event will raise funds for scholarships, addressing financial disparities among students, with invitations extended to partners, alumni, and friends. This celebration also honors the achievements of alumni and friends, showcasing their embodiment of 精东AV's values.

More than 60 percent of students at 精东AV are Pell-eligible, which means families need additional support to bridge the gap to continue their pursuit of a 精东AV degree.  Atlanta is home to more than 6,400 精东AV alumni and this festive evening will allow them and others from across the country to come together with one goal in mind 鈥� creating scholarship opportunities for our students.  

Details around ticketing will be shared soon.
