Proctor and Ross Dining Halls
Celebratory Luncheon for Febs and Their Guests
Proctor and Ross will be open at 11:00 a.m. for those who prefer to remain on campus.
Graduate Departure
Graduates are required to vacate their dormitory rooms no later than noon on Sunday. This deadline must be enforced so that rooms may be prepared for the incoming Feb class.
Tips:
What to wear on Saturday: dress is traditionally casual for Feb Celebration since Febs go directly from the Celebration to the Ski Down. In fact, most Febs wear their skiing base layers under their robe, so they are ready to slip on snow pants and coat when they arrive at the hill.
The Ski Down is voluntary. If you do not plan to ski, you may snowshoe, walk, run, or dance your way down any portion of the hill.
Rental Equipment
Skis
If you are interested in renting ski equipment, please fill out this form by January 31 to ensure that we can have skis ready for you.
Showshoes
If you are interested in renting snowshoes instead of skis for the Ski Down, you can request rentals early by filling out this form. Snowshoes will be delivered to the Snowbowl the morning of the graduation ceremony.
