Celebrate the 100/50: Embracing Our Legacy Gala on October 9

Published on August 11, 2023

Join CBS and the African American Alumni Association (4A) on Monday, October 9, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the 100/50: Embracing Our Legacy Celebration Gala. This special evening event, to be held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City, will mark the culmination of CBS's year-long 100/50 campaign in honor of the 100th anniversary of our first matriculated Black student, Theodora Rutherford (Class of 1924), and the 50th anniversary of the Black Business Students Association (BBSA). The campaign commemorated the immense impact and contributions of the School’s Black students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends over the last century. 

The 100/50 Celebration Gala is raising crucial funding for the 4A Scholarship Fund. Since its inception in 1994, the Fund has supported 42 MBA students, and we aim to double this impact by reaching our goal of $1M in this campaign. The contributions from our community will uplift the next generation of Black business students and leaders and strengthen a lasting legacy at CBS.

Gala tickets start at $250, and sponsorship opportunities are available. Register today!
