Guests enjoyed cocktails on the picturesque bayfront of the New College campus before tucking into a four-course dinner complete with wine pairings at the New College of Florida Foundation's annual fundraiser Nov. 2.
The Soiree on the Bay Clambake attracted about 250 guests; the attendee list included many well-known names in local and state politics.
At the dinner, the college announced it is raising funds to support new master's degree programs planned to launch in 2024. They will focus on marine mammal science, environmental economics, educational leadership and data science.
Co-chaired by Elizabeth Moore and Don Patterson, the event featured New England's finest fare, catered by Michael's On East.
