Feeling Ill

• We understand that this is a very important day for students and their families.

MICA closely monitors federal, state, and local guidelines and will update these policies as needed. In addition to pledging regular communication, we also ask Fashion Show attendees to please check back here prior to attending to confirm current protocols. If these protocols change, faculty, staff, students, and guests affected will be alerted via email.

While MICA is following recommended practices, these protocols do not offer absolute protection against contracting COVID-19. Those attending the 28th Annual Benefit Fashion Show voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. MICA reserves the right to require attendees who do not follow our guidelines or are disrespectful to staff, artists, volunteers, or other attendees to leave an event immediately regardless of ticket or vaccination status.
