It was a great night for alumni and friends at the annual Baton Rouge Chapter social on Saturday, August 25 at L’ Auberge Casino. Alumni and friends from the Baton Rouge area joined the Alumni & Advancement Director Kenny Spellman ’84, School Services Director Barry Hebert ’74, Bro. Neal Golden ’57 CJ, and Alumni Officers Chuck Stall ’02 and Chris Alley ’08 at the Stadium Sports Bar & Grill. This Baton Rouge Chapter Social was a first for the newly appointed Alumni Officers, Chuck and Chris. Chris remarked that “it is so important to reach out to alumni outside of the Greater New Orleans Area and stay connected.”
David Schmidt ’01 was excited about seeing friends and classmates. He stated that “Saturday’s gathering was a great opportunity to meet fellow alumni here in Baton Rouge. I enjoyed seeing some old friends and reminiscing about the past and catching up. Stadium Sports Bar & Grill worked well for hosting the event and the food was delicious. Can’t wait for next year’s event.”
In addition, alumni and guests were updated on current Crusader news: Food Services and the Tom and Gayle Benson Mall renovations, the relocation and update to our Library, the athletic and extracurricular events, as well as academic achievements. The Advancement Office looks forward to returning to Baton Rouge for another event and encourages Baton Rouge area alumni to visit the campus when they are in New Orleans.
