    Casual dress code

Why?

Casual attire is acceptable so that you can participate in the event and selection process without any unnecessary stress.
Of course, suits aren't viewed negatively either.
Clothing is not a subject of evaluation, and we believe we have no right to impose dress standards on students that we do not expect from our employees.
