Here at GW we require that our students wear one of our uniform polo shirts
and they are also issued a name tag that we suggest/encourage them to wear.
During move-in we have them wear move-in specific t-shirts (tie-dye
actually) and their badges are required.
The key reason is that we want community members to recognize that the
person in their room/office is part of the IT staff.
