Sit Lux en Bleu: A JCSU Affair
Let’s paint the picture.
It is Friday night of Homecoming 2026. The room is draped en bleu. The music is right, the tables are stunning, and everywhere you look there is Golden Bull pride — classmates you have not seen in years, new friends you have not met yet, and a celebration that gives back.
Now the only question: are you in the room, or hearing about it after?
Tickets are still available but they are going super fast: click below to purchase.
The Evening
Pre-purchase food and drinks in advance, or shop the cash bar throughout the evening. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks (limit two bottles of wine or champagne per guest). All VIP tickets include food and drink.
An evening of live sound flowing into late-night dancing beneath the chandeliers.
From the blue carpet to intimate vignettes, memory-making at every turn.
Each table becomes a canvas. A panel of judges tours the room to select the most beautifully styled tablescape of the evening. The winning tables will receive signature prizes.
