About the Spring Banquet

Each year for nearly 50 years, The Red & Black has celebrated student leadership during a spring banquet. It is a time for students to come together and reflect on their year as well as alumni, friends and board members to meet and mingle. We honor students through peer-selected departmental awards and via our three scholarship programs. This banquet is also a fundraising opportunity for The Red & Black, which is an independent nonprofit organization.

Dinner and Drinks will be included with the cost of your ticket. All proceeds raised during the banquet will go towards our student scholarship programs, student stipends and travel opportunities.
