As a reminder, the event begins with check-in at 2:40 p.m. in the Great Hall. You must have your respective state-issued id, or your passport in order to get a wristband for the champagne toast. For those not 21, or for those who don't drink, we will have glasses of sparkling cider.

There isn't a particular dress code, but if you'd like to reference last year's event, you can view our Instagram post from May 16. 2024.
