On Thursday, April 9, Career Services will be presenting its very first business professional "Dress for Success" fashion show to exhibit proper business wear from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Wicomico Room located in the Guerrieri Center. This runway show will be conducted to spread knowledge on how to be properly dressed for all professional, business-oriented occasions.

Senior and Career Services intern Wayne Turner is the mastermind behind coordinating the show, along with his employer, Associate Director of Career Services Charlie Endicott. Turner will be hosting and will be accompanied by several performers.

Turner expressed his reason for putting together a show with such substance by mentioning how some students are unaware of how to dress appropriately for business functions. "Mr. Endicott and [I] thought it would be a good idea to put on a business fashion show for faculty and students of SU. We also discussed how we could display the proper clothing options for events such as interviews and job fairs," Turner said.

Models will include a variety of Salisbury University students.

"There will be a diverse group of models in our fashion show," Turner said, who hopes to reach out to every culture that exists at SU. "We want students to know how to prepare for their career appearance-wise."

In addition to the runway portion, there will be a combination of entertainment including SU’s own Squawkappella, a song by Azah Ndeh and a performance by the Gospel Choir.

The "Dress for Success" Fashion Show is free for the SU community but Career Services asks everyone interested in attending to RSVP via Facebook or confirm their attendance by answering an e-mail invite sent by Charlie Endicott. Refreshments and a $25 raffle will also be included.
