FULL ACCESS Summit Attire
You will need to bring business casual attire for daytime use at both days of the Summit. For the first night’s dinner with employers you will be expected to wear business professional attire. You may also want to bring casual wear for the after dinner activities.
Business Professional (Summit Dinner) – This attire is more professional than business casual or casual. It would be appropriate to wear to a job interview. Business professional attire can consists of:
• Suit jacket/blazer;
• Collared shirt, neatly pressed;
• Slacks or a skirt;
• Two-piece dress
Business Casual (Summit Days) – This attire falls somewhere between the more formal business professional suits and the casual look of jeans and a t-shirt. Business casual attire can consists of:
• Collared/knit shirts;
• Slacks, khakis or a skirt;
• Dress
Casual (After-dinner Fun Activities in the Wii room) – This attire is the least formal of the three. Casual attire can be defined as anything less than business casual. But because this is a career event, you will want to exercise good judgment. This could include:
• Jeans/khakis;
• T-Shirts/Sweatshirts;
• Knit shirts
To make your BEST first impression:
• Make sure your clothing is clean and pressed
• Shoes polished
• Pay attention to personal grooming (hair, nails, etc.)
• Keep your attire conservative – avoid flashy colors, low cut tops, short skirts
• Avoid wearing too much or large jewelry (no piercings, dangling earrings, etc.)
