Just like home - with all new friends.
This season’s Emory Alumni Association Dinner with 12 Strangers program was a resounding success, with 230 students enjoying 22 dinners around Atlanta. Faculty and special alumni guests were invited to attend and get to know students in a casual setting.
Here’s what Emory students are saying about Dinner with 12 Strangers:
“This was the first “dinner with 12 strangers” that I have participated in, and I thoroughly enjoyed it – I have already told my classmates who did not get the chance to attend that they must when the next round of dinners occurs.” — Filomene, 16G
“It was special treat to learn a little more about the diverse backgrounds of our students here at Emory.” –John, 12 MBA
Smiles were as abundant as the great food and company.
“Better than I have eaten anywhere else and I envy the fact that your family has your cooking on a regular basis. With all of the guests, I am sure it was quite an undertaking to prepare all of that food. . . You have such a lovely home and I really enjoyed talking to you and the rest of your family along with the rest of the guests.” — Chris, 15G

Here is a blog post written by Emory student Michael Goldberg about his expierence with the dinner. Goldberg has started Emory students’ unofficial blog the Skeleton Standard.
Love that home cooking!
