This will be an evening of memories, as the entire class will gather at Philadelphia's Park Hyatt at the Bellevue. The event will feature DJ/dancing and 4 hours of OPEN BAR.

Please note that tuxedos are not required, though tuxedo t-shirts are unfortunately not allowed. Bring a date? Some do, some don't. Most people go with groups of friends. While price has not yet been determined, expect tickets to be between $50 and $60 a person (21 ID required to drink). You will be allowed to purchase tickets for guests.
