What do I wear?
Be causal and comfortable! The biggest variable is weather – it could be hot, cold, rainy, sunny – sometimes all in the same day! Check the forecast when you pack.
The most dressed-up events are Thursday and Saturday class dinners. Some men wear blazers, some don’t – no need for a suit. Women wear slacks, dresses or skirts. Thursday dinner at President Casey’s house is on the lawn – high heel alert. Saturday dinner is indoors.
