It's practicum, internship, and interview season at RIC. Not sure what to wear? Neither were we, so we did our research.
The Work It exhibit takes visitors on a tour of professional attire across time and space. It features materials culled from the Rhode Island Hospital Nurses' Alumni Association, Library Special Collections, books, style blogs, business etiquette, and the scholarship of appearance. The exhibit asks visitors to consider what constitutes professional dress and why. Trends may change, but the need to put clothes on for work has not. You need this exhibit NOW.
