A Night on the Riviera - 6/6/09
California University of Pennsylvania rolled the dice for its President’s Gala, themed “A Night on the Riviera” at the Omni William Penn Hotel. Following a dinner of filet mignon, grouper, or vegetable strudel, guests took to casino games of black jack, slot machines, and roulette — their chips were then used to bet on silent auction items. The University also announced a $35 million campaign, The Campaign to Build Character and Careers: A Case for Student Support and Enrichment. The campaign’s purpose is to help fund internships in major cities, scholarships and improvements to programs within the university. Last year’s total of $80,000 was matched, and will benefit scholarships for Cal U students. Photography by Megan Wylie
