DRESS CODE GUIDELINES FOR THE STERN SCHOOL'S ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF

All Stern School Administrators and Staff should maintain a professional appearance that reflects a sense of pride in themselves and the School. To assist employees in choosing their attire, we offer the following guidelines:

Business:   · A collared shirt and tie for men   · A jacket or blazer   · Suit, dress slacks, skirts or dresses   · Dress shoes or dress sandals

Business Casual:   · A collared shirt for men   · Dress slacks, skirts or dresses   · Dress shoes or dress sandals

Business attire should be customary in those departments/areas that regularly deal with external publics (i.e. alumni, donors, corporate partners, applicants, the media, etc.) or that serve as role models for our students. In those areas that interact primarily with internal clients (i.e. faculty and staff) or that interact with students to provide internal services, business casual guidelines may be selected by the Business Unit Head. There may be circumstances that warrant variation within guidelines established. For example:   · There may be times when employees in areas/departments with a less formal dress code should be dressed formally instead. Some instances include: attendance at special events or meetings with an external constituent or audience, when an external constituent or audience is scheduled to for a visit to the school in nearby departments or offices, etc.   · There may be times when employees who normally are attired in business attire may adopt business casual instead (i.e. times during the summer or on Fridays if/when external relations activities are very low).   · An individual employee's role is more back office even though s/he works in a front office area.

There are some forms of dress that are not appropriate in Stern's professional setting. These include: shorts, tank tops, beach sandals, sneakers, athletic wear, jeans and any clothing that could be regarded as brief, form fitting or revealing.
