Family Weekend

On Friday, October 23, 2009, from 3:00-7:30pm, the Parents Leadership Council invites you to a fundraiser in support of the students who will be living, learning and performing in the Paramount Center. 

Families are invited to invest in the Take Your Seat initiative with leadership gifts of $1,000 or more. Recognition for this gift includes:

• Two spots on a VIP tour ALL TOURS ARE SOLD OUT
  
• Admission to the presidential cocktail reception at 6:00pm
  
• The name of your student on a seatback in the stunning new Paramount Center

Theatre donors will be invited to join the Department Chair of Performing Arts, Melia Bensussen, for a sneak peek at the Paramount Center. This VIP tour will offer an insider look at our newest campus facility — and its fabulous art deco theater — in the heart of Boston's historic Theatre District. Join us to learn more about the Paramount of yesterday, the history of theater in Boston, and Emerson's plans for this living, learning and performing space.

Following the tour, join President Liebergott at the Ritz Carlton Hotel for a social cocktail reception for parents that will set the stage for a weekend of fun activities. Guests will also have the pleasure of meeting student and faculty leaders.  

Tickets are required. Space is limited. To learn more, call the Parents Leadership Council office at (617) 824-8561 or email Carolyn Jasinski at carolyn_jasinski@emerson.edu.

Stay tuned for future events, including a sneak peek for our neighbors in the Boston community, and our grand opening in Fall 2010.
