PHOTO & SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Due to security and privacy policies, mission team members are not allowed to post or take photos of placed students.
CELL COVERAGE
Please be aware that coverage in our rural area is spotty. Those connecting via Verizon or T-Mobile are more apt to have coverage than those using AT&T.
DRESS CODE
Please adhere to our Cookson Hills dress code for both men and women while on campus. Always be sure to dress safely for the project you are working on!
• Clothing shall reveal no belly, no back, no cleavage, no crack.
• Undergarments are required but they may not be seen.
• Shorts should be at least fingertip length when standing.
• Modest tank tops are just fine! No spaghetti straps though, please.
