UMRA hosts two organization-wide events each month during the academic year, some in person and some online. Interest groups, committees, and other groups also hold many events each month.
It is expected that those who attend UMRA events in person will be up to date on their COVID and other vaccines. With regard to masking and other precautions, we will follow the guidelines of the venue where our event is held.
