BACK TO YOUR
GLORY DAYS GALA
Step back in time for a fun and nostalgic evening at the Symposium Gala. Guests are invited to dress in the decade they graduated high school: the groovy ‘70s flair, bold ‘80s style, grunge ‘90s vibes, or the sparkle of the 2000s and beyond.
Enjoy throwback music from across the decades and show off your retro style for a chance to win prizes for the best dressed of the night.
Gala tickets can be purchased when you complete your Symposium registration.
