Mane Month
What is Mane Month?

The Eschedule is live now!
Look for the printed mailer by July 31.

Mane Month Planning
Events must follow one or more of the safety precautions outlined in the Mane Month Guidelines. The basic themes include:
- Make every effort to insure 6 ft social distancing is possible at gatherings.
- When 6 ft is not possible, cloth face covering should be worn.
- Occupancy should never exceed 50% of seated capacity.
Every activity host confirmed which of the icon safety precautions would be observed at their event. For more information about event safety guidelines reference: Mane Month Guidelines

The 2020 Lucky Dip Festival has been cancelled in anticipation of the plaza undergoing contruction.
Water saved from the original fountain will be added to the smaller fountains on the first day of class so students will not miss the opportunity to take the Lucky Dip on the first day of class.
