**Recommended Professional Attire
Casual dress is acceptable for most of the program. However, you will need to be in compliance with lab safety guidelines, such as closed-toed shoes.
Some events will require professional or business casual attire. Please pack 2-3 outfits for these dress codes.
Keep in mind that St. Louis is extremely hot in the summer, so you will want to pack accordingly - but bring a few outfits for the occasional cooler weather.
