Wilmington, N.C. –The University of North Carolina Wilmington is hosting its third annual Dress for Success Fashion Show at noon Monday, Feb. 7 in the University Union’s Hawk’s Nest. This event is sponsored by UNCW Career Services, the Communication Studies Society and the Department of Communication Studies.

“Dress for Success: Suit Yourself for a Friend-ly Future” will be this year’s theme which draws upon the NBC television show Friends. Students and faculty will model business professional and appropriate business casual attire provided by Men’s Wearhouse and the Casual Corner Group. Audience members will have the opportunity to win various door prizes and can participate in a trivia game based on Friends.

This fashion show kicks off Career Services’ weeklong Road Rules for the Real World series of events designed to help students as they transition from backpacks to briefcases.
