Join us for an afternoon of good food, great memories, plenty of laughter, and just a little bit of roasting as we celebrate Jarrick V. Brown, Ed.D. and the completion of his Doctor of Education in Higher Education Administration!
Hosted by his family, this special graduation luncheon will bring together the people who have supported, encouraged, loved, mentored, and witnessed Jarrick’s journey along the way. And because simply having a nice, peaceful luncheon would be far too easy, we’re turning the celebration into a roast in his honor!
Come prepared to laugh, share stories, reminisce about your favorite Jarrick moments, and help us celebrate this incredible milestone.
Whether you’ve known Jarrick for a lifetime or became part of his journey somewhere along the way, we would love for you to join us as we roast him, toast him, and celebrate the newest Ed.D. in the family!
Please RSVP and submit your payment by the deadline listed on this page so we can provide an accurate guest count.
Come hungry. Come ready to laugh. And most importantly, come ready with your best Jarrick story — because the doctor is officially in, and no story is safe!
