entry fee back and receive a gift card/gift certificate from a local establishment.
Halfway to Homecoming -- February 9
It may not be Fat Tuesday, but let's get Mardi Gras started! SXU alumni don your feather

this "Fat Friday" for food, drinks, music and merriment!

Their ultimate goal is to foster collaboration and engage researchers, entrepreneurs and philanthropists to assist in empowering others to live a fuller life.
