Dress Code
Careers & Experience values and respects the rich culture and experiences of Western students, and understands that traditional dress codes can limit their ability to express their whole selves. We wish to empower students to embody their professional identity in a way that is true to them, and encourage students to present themselves in a way that is not limiting to their identities.
Please do not feel you need to: change your natural texture, remove or re-style any religious symbols or headwear (or adapt religious dress), adapt to gender binaries, and/or hide or remove piercings and tattoos.
As a general guideline, your attire should appear polished and workplace appropriate as it would if you were attending an interview. We recommend wearing business casual attire.
