Weekly News And Motivation From Student Services

Spring B – May 16, 2011 through June 24, 2011. Can you believe it's spring?  I know it’s hard with the weather the way it is.  But we all know the greener grass, flowers, sunny skies and warmer days are just starting.  Since I know those days are coming I’d like to take a moment and remind everyone about the Dress Code Policy. 

Many students ask why we have a dress code policy.  The dress code policy is part our belief in developing self-esteem, self-reliance, discipline, confidence and professionalism in all graduates. 

We know that it has been proven that when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good about yourself you accomplish more positive things in your life.  The time you are spending with us is your chance to start becoming the professional you dream of being!

This is a Professional Learning Environment, so professional attire is essential.  As a reminder, professional attire includes business casual, medical office attire, and culinary uniforms.

Business casual includes dress pants / slacks, dress shirts, dress shoes, dress suits, dresses, pant suits, blouses, vests or sweaters.  Medical attire is a scrub set with or without coordinating lab coat and proper white shoes. 

Chances are, if you have a question about something that’s not on the list, it probably isn’t suitable and doesn’t follow the dress code policy. 

If you need assistance or have questions regarding the dress code, please see Student Services OR Career Services.  A copy of our dress code policy can also be requested. 

Keep in mind, even though the weather is getting warmer, that shorts, tank tops, halter tops, hats, t-shirts, muscle shirts, flip-flops or tennis shoes (unless you are wearing scrubs) are not part of proper dress code. Jeans are ONLY permitted on special designated days. 

Career Services invites employers to stop in, and at any time you may have a chance to meet with a prospective future employer.  I’m sure no one would want to miss an opportunity for employment because they weren’t following the proper dress code. 

This is just the beginning of a really great journey with your destination being a new career and a brighter future for you and your family.  Remember you never get a second chance to make a FIRST impression!
