Business casual attire is expected at most times. Women should not wear low-cut tops or short skirts. Men should wear collared shirts. Blue jeans are permissible only on Fridays or weekends. With the exception of days involving outdoor work (such as on-location production or community events) shorts are prohibited. Inquiries regarding the Creative Services internship should be directed to:
