The Chronicle of Higher Education: Colloquy

COLLOQUY

Responses


A professional appearance is important. My mentor is a woman who is a brilliant academician and a fantastic dresser. She wore a suit every day to class. As a young professional, I consider her my ideal. A sloppy appearance can be telling of a general disregard for self, work, etc.
