What is the dress code of the EATM Program?
Students in the EATM Program are required to be in their EATM uniform, anytime they are on zoo grounds, on field trips, and at all other times they are representing America’s Teaching Zoo. Students are expected to be role models, are always on duty, and are expected to present a responsible and respectable image to the public. To this end, the EATM Program has strict policies regarding appearance and dress, for two reasons: 1) for safety 2) to follow animal industry standards. As stated in America’s Teaching Zoo Procedure Manual, which all EATM students must adhere to: “Jewelry should be kept to a minimum and should be conservative. No dangling earrings over one inch in length, no more than two earrings per ear, and no other visible body piercings (other than the ear) are allowed.” Moorpark College is a non smoking campus.
