For many young alums, summer is filled with weddings, graduations and maybe even one last family vacation (on mom and dad's dime, of course).
The summer months are a busy time for our Graduates Of the Last Decade, so why not save your energy for the "dog days" of late summer and early fall? Here's a sneak-peek at some of the young alumni events we're looking to schedule for August and September.
Shoot Some Pool With CUA
This fall, the Office of Alumni Relations will be hosting a pocket billiards tournament for all interested alumni, with free appetizers, drink specials and prizes for the winners! For further details, contact Brandon Romanchok.
Texas Hold-'Em Poker Tournament
Would you like to go "all in" with an alumni poker tournament? We're planning a no-charge, card-slinger showdown for CUA's alumni Hold-'Em superstars, and we'd love to have you join us! For further details, contact Brandon Romanchok.

ALUM'S LITTLE WOMEN "MASTERPIECE" AT CUA
CUA alumni will have a special opportunity to experience the Washington, D.C., premiere of the hugely successful opera Little Women, by Catholic University alumnus, Mark Adamo, B.M., 1990.
The play has been called a "masterpiece" by The New York Times. We hope you'll join us for the Summer Opera Theatre Company's production at CUA's Hartke Theatre on Wednesday, June 20, 7:30 p.m., with a pre-performance lecture at 6:30 p.m. in the theater.
Alumni tickets are only $36 ($55 to the public), and are extremely limited. To reserve yours today, contact Marion Gosney or call 202-319-5608.

Just a few short weeks ago, Adamo's latest concerto premiered at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Later this month, the Summer Opera Theatre Company will stage Adamo's critically acclaimed opera, Little Women (see above).
