<p>The Opening Gala is the most formal event of the weekend and cocktail attire is appropriate. The President’s dinner is slightly less formal. Normally pant suits or dresses for women and suits for men are recommended. The dinner will follow immediately after mass, so clothes typically appropriate for mass work for dinner. And the Closing Brunch on Sunday is business casual and the least formal of the four major events. For the collegiate workshops and hall luncheons, everyday, casual clothes are perfectly fine. There is not an expected dress code for these events.</p>
