  • MISCELLANEOUS:

    • The attire for this event is semi-formal.

      • Semi-formal attire is a dress code that's more polished than casual but less formal than black-tie. It's a balance between elegance and comfort, and it's appropriate for weddings, business events, and other high-profile gatherings.

    • UNLV will have soft drinks, wine, beer, recital themed cocktails, and snacks available for purchase in the lobby.
