Alumni Appreciation Night is a celebratory game day experience honoring CAU alumni through connection, pride, and Panther spirit. The evening begins with an Alumni Appreciation Mixer from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM in the trailer formerly housing the Office of Alumni Relations and Engagement, providing space for fellowship and reconnection. At 6:30 PM, alumni transition to the gymnasium for CAU Basketball with reserved seating. Throughout the game, roaming photo booths capture moments from alumni and students, and a special halftime activation highlights the Office of Alumni Relations and Engagement. This experience is designed to celebrate alumni impact, strengthen engagement, and create meaningful touchpoints for staying connected to Clark Atlanta University.
