Language Expectation

You will be on campus with students from the ASLEI and TASL programs. To create an inclusive and rich environment of interactions and learning, follow these language expectations:

Dress Code 

The ASLEI and TASL programs want to foster the recognition that we are future professionals. Dressing according to professional standards shows we are serious about our professional goals.

• If you are unsure what professional clothing to bring, here is a pinterest board for professional attire inspiration.
• The Monfort College of Business Professional Attire Closet provides UNC students with free access to new and gently used business clothing, including suits, blouses, belts, and ties. For more details, visit the Professional Development and Career Readiness page.
• As a show of respect and professionalism for the Deaf community, our colleagues, and our profession, look for examples of business casual styles. (e.g., no bare midriffs, no spaghetti straps without a cover, no cleavage, nor low-cut or sleeveless tops.) Skin as a backdrop of a signing space can affect the comprehensibility and clarity of signs from certain angles. ASL interpreters should generally wear clothing that has solid or muted colors that clearly contrast with their skin tone to promote clarity and mitigate distractions. This often means avoiding busy patterns, bright colors, and flashy jewelry.  Long sleeves should cover arm tattoos to maintain a clear and distraction-free visual field for interpretations.

• Mondays - Thursdays In the Classroom

  Business-casual clothing is expected while you are in class or in scheduled meetings. 

  When packing, you should consider: 

  Bring comfortable walking shoes.
  
  You will be walking around campus.

  Dressing in layers.
  
  Weather changes quickly and inside is air conditioned.

• Fridays In the Classroom

   Fridays are Bear Pride day! Wear your UNC gear with jeans or wear business-casual. 

• Out of the Classroom

  Bring your yoga pants, shorts, jeans, overalls, flip flops, and so on for your free time.

Survival Tips

• Drink Water (Often!)

  Altitude sickness is a very real thing. You will be living and studying at a mile above sea level. No matter where you are from, keep yourself hydrated!

• Grow Where You Are At

  You are here to learn – allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone, be open to learning new things, and continue to question and challenge yourself. You are here to grow as a student, person, and professional. Comparing yourself to your classmates is unproductive and often adds to your stress level.

• You Get What You Give

  The more work you put into the program, the more you will get out of it.

• Build Relationships

  Classmates are your best support system. They understand what you are going through and can empathize. Classmates can also provide alternate points of view and serve as additional information sources to the curriculum being taught.

• Respect Each Student

  Trust and sharing makes a great learning community. What happens in class stays in class.

• Schedule Down Time

  The summer session is rigorous and can be stressful. Be sure to find time to relax; take a walk, exercise, breathe deeply.
