Hi Erika, We implemented a professional dress code for students at my institution. If a student violates the code, the student is sent home for the day, which is an absence. Instructors also have a dress code, therefore we lead by example. In Pressional Development class students must dress every Thursday as if they are going to an interview. At my institution, we also share with our students professional dress code policies from local employers. We have a professional from the community to speak about professional dress at an assembly. Students have been very receptive to the practices that we have put in place. Patricia
