2023-2024 Grizzly Gear Schedule
With supervisor approval, staff may wear casual pants (e.g., khakis, Dockers) or jeans (no holes, rips, or frayed hems) with Grizzly apparel on selected days while maintaining a professional appearance. When these days include meetings and/or events that suggest professional attire, please dress accordingly. Your departmental dean or director may provide more direction on when jeans would be suitable for your office or department.
The faculty do not have a formal dress code but are encouraged to participate as appropriate.
