Brenau University celebrated its past with a black-tie-optional event Saturday night while sharing with guests big plans for the future. “We are growing all over the place,” President Ed Schrader told the crowd of several hundred gathered for the Brenau Gala. Evidence of that was the site of the event itself — the Brenau Downtown Center, which the university leases from Gainesville.
