Thoughts from my supervisor responding via email:

“Justin, you brought up some good questions - Attire around here is a bit more casual during the summer than it is during the academic year, but blue jeans are pretty much never acceptable. Things like shorts, halter tops, clothing from other universities or glorifying substance abuse are also not acceptable. If there’s ever a day you’ll need to wear a suit or dress more formally, I’ll try let you know in advance. Doesn’t happen often, but if you’re going to be meeting with the president or legislators or the Board of Regents you’ll be more comfortable dressed for the occasion, and sometimes those occasions come up unexpectedly. Things like piercings also apply to this. My attitude about this sort of thing is that you should dress how you want to be perceived. In other words, if you want to be looked upon as a professional, dress like one. One of the most difficult transitions for [AmeriCorps*]VISTAs is changing their own and other’s perceptions of them from student to professional. What you wear and how you present yourself will help or hinder that process.”
