For the first day of orientation the mat pack recommends professional dress... For males, can we wear khaki pants with shirt/tie or do we need to wear dark pants and or suit?
Thanks
DiverDoc,
Here is the Dress Code from the Student Handbook, pg. 55:
"Appropriate Dress for all KCUMB students includes business slacks with open-collar shirt for men, and business slacks or skirt with professional shirt or sweater for women. Jeans, tank tops, low-cut shirts, short skirts and hats are not permitted."
After the WCC, you are expected to wear your white coat along with the professional dress as outlined above, or, during most days, you can wear matching scrubs, instead, unless professional dress + white coat is indicated (events, guest speakers, score one, intra or extramural clinical experiences, etc.).
I generally wear a tie with my professional dress, but it isn't required. It just looks better to me, but then again, I worked in the business world for several years...
During orientation, I'd stick with the professional dress outlined above, unless the school tells you to wear something different, like during your service project. You'll get guidance on what to wear and when, including for your white coat ceremony, during orientation.
