Appropriate Dress

Dress Code - Washington D.C.

Our goal is to keep everyone safe on this trip, and one way we do that is not calling attention to ourselves with wild inappropriate dress. We all adhere to a very strict dress code on our touring days (Tuesday and Wednesday). All students will wear their Student ID and trip provided lanyard everyday.
