A CE event or a few, plenty of time to socialize and reminisce over old PSI photos and items (we’re still happy to accept those if you’ve come across any!), a new video encapsulating PSI’s history, a panel discussion with current students… We’d love to provide reunion opportunities for particular classes or certificate programs… What reunion group would you like to coordinate? Is there another activity that you think would make this heritage celebration really special? Speak now while there’s still time to plan!
Friday, July 28
CE Workshop opportunities (full- and half-day options)
12:00-2:00 p.m.
Lunch on or near campus
All CE workshops are out of session so all alumni, no matter what CEs they’re attending, can socialize together over lunch.
We will probably provide a boxed lunch option for those who want to remain on campus.
* 7:20 p.m.
Group outing to the Atlanta Braves game; fireworks show following the game.
* Shuttle service runs from campus, beginning early enough for those who want to explore The Battery before the game.

We know some of you are coming from out of town (Book your hotel!) and aren’t familiar with Richmont’s location.
We asked current Richmont students and faculty and staff for their “go-to” places near the Atlanta campus. Here’s where they suggest:
Affordable
Marietta Diner
Rev Coffee Roasters
Mellow Mushroom Pizza (Windy Hill & Powers Ferry)
Maggiano’s (Cumberland Mall)
Blue Moon Pizza (Marietta)
Upscale
Canoe
Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen (Windy Hill at I-75)
The Battery in general, and Punch Bowl Social there specifically, also have been recommended. Just be aware that The Battery is the area surrounding Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. The Braves play at home July 28-August 2, so the area will be crowded. The best way to see The Battery will be to join us for our group outing to the Braves game Friday night, when you can make use of shuttle service from and to campus.
Richmont has secured a block of rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton Atlanta-Marietta (practically around the corner from campus) at a rate of $109 per night for July 27-30 (or whatever portion thereof people choose). The cutoff date for the room rate is June 27, but early booking is encouraged so we have a chance to add to the block if needed. If you think there’s any chance you’ll travel in to attend, go ahead and book. (You always have the option of canceling your room reservation up to 48 hours before check-in at no penalty.)
