Health and Safety

We have been monitoring the current health situation and consulting with experts to understand the safest way to hold these events. We are prioritizing outdoor events that can comfortably accommodate our alumni, students, faculty, and staff. All indoor events will require masks and limit seating to allow for physical distancing. We encourage all community members to bring a mask so they can wear it at outdoor events where distancing may not be possible.
