Mane Month
What is Mane Month?
Mane Month is a coordination of activities hosted by various organizations, groups, and departments across campus during the first Month of the fall semester. It is the most important time for new students to get connected on campus.
The Eschedule is live now!
Look for the printed mailer by July 31.
Remember, all events and activities are subject to change.
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
