TV Studio Etiquette

Working in this studio is like working in an office. We are here to accomplish a task – TV weathercasting – to the best of our abilities. We should enjoy our work, and we should do it as professionally as possible.

We must always:

• Work together and help each other.
• Treat each other with respect.
• Carry out obligations of preparing graphics and/or appearing before camera. If you cannot fulfill your assignment for a particular day, it is your responsibility to arrange for a replacement.
• Speak and act in a way that will make you, the Meteorology Department, Florida State University, State Government, parents, etc., proud of our accomplishments.
• Be ready for visitors at any time.
• Be safe.
• Keep the studio neat and clean.

In addition to these general rules, all students are bound by the FSU Student Code of Conduct, which is available in printed form and at www.fsu.edu. (Click on "Information for FSU Students" and then "Student Code of Conduct.") This code addresses sexual misconduct, endangerment of others, harassment, hazing, weapons, fire and safety, illegal drugs, alcohol, disruption, proper use of FSU identification cards, and other issues.

If there are any difficulties, whether they deal with equipment, people, or whatever, immediately notify Dr. Jon Ahlquist (644-1558, 385-5941, ahlquist@met.fsu.edu).
