Details: Held at the five-star Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta, this celebratory evening will feature as our special guest keynote speaker Daniel J. Levitin, McGill University professor and the best-selling author of This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession. Before joining the Department of Psychology at McGill, Dr. Levitin was a jazz guitarist and saxophonist, and worked behind the scenes with some of the music industry’s superstars — Blue Öyster Cult, Stevie Wonder, Santana, Eric Clapton, k. d. lang, and The Grateful Dead, to name just a few.

For the fourth consecutive year, we are delighted to welcome back the distinguished CNN International reporter and anchor Jonathan Mann as our Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Jonathan’s “roll call” of Canadian colleges and universities is always a highlight of the evening. Originally from Montréal, Jonathan is a graduate of York University.

Also back by popular demand is our after-dinner “Canadian Jazz Café” featuring singer Jennifer Hanson and her jazz combo. Jennifer is an Atlanta singer originally from Flin Flon, Manitoba, whose repertoire ranges from the jazz standard songbook to bluesy, torchy heartbreakers. Coffee and after-dinner drinks will enhance the afterglow atmosphere.
