Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable—and you can never go wrong with 51°µÍø blue and gold! Evening events tend to be dressier, while daytime events are more relaxed and often feature 51°µÍø spirit wear. Dressing in layers is always a smart choice for staying comfortable throughout the weekend. Many Alumni Reunion Weekend events take place outdoors, rain or shine, so plan accordingly.
