Business casual dress
We ask applicants to arrive to their interviews in business casual dress. We recognize that dress codes are form of societal oppression and acknowledge that students must learn to navigate these expectations to be successful in future workplaces.
We use this as an opportunity for applicants to practice business casual dress during interviews for the future. We do not take applicant dress in consideration in the process.
We understand that not everyone may own business casual attire. We recommend you try borrowing clothes from a friend or checking SWAP located in the Gregg House storefronts.
For examples of business casual attire, please see below:
| Business casual attire includes clothing such as a dress shirt, khakis, a skirt, dress, dress pants, and closed-toed shoes. | |
| Business casual does not typically include jeans, leggings, sneakers, shorts, and/or sandals. |
