Hi Melissa,

Have you considered that requiring business professional dress would be
prohibitively expensive for interns? Most students operate on a
shoestring budget--heaven knows I did--and needing a business
professional wardrobe might be enough to compel them to pass up an
internship. Frankly, unless you're offering a very generous stipend, I
think it's putting too much of a financial burden on them.

For those of you with interns, do you require a uniform or business
professional dress? 
We currently have all of our interns wear a uniform that consists of a
polo and khakis but are considering changing to professional attire.
I'd like to know what issues have arisen for those of you who require
professional dress.  The uniform is certainly an easy way to go for
everyone, but does it teach students about dressing for the
professional
world?  And is the lesson worth it for the staff who have to monitor
the
interns' clothing?
Thanks.
