CEHD Dress Code

At Western Michigan University’s College of Education and Human Development, our culture drives our success, which is why we have implemented a “Dress For Your Day” dress code. "Dress For Your Day" allows employees to take responsibility for the appropriate attire for the business of each workday. 

For example: 

  • If you have an important meeting, you might wear something a bit more formal like a dress or a suit. 

  • If students are away or your role involves climbing under desks to run wires, jeans and a nice polo or a sweater might be the answer. 

  • If you are in a public facing role throughout your day, ‘business casual’ may be appropriate 

  • If you prefer business or business casual attire, don’t worry. You can dress up whenever you choose. 

Dress for Your Day is all about appropriately showing individuality but not forgetting you represent the University.  Employees are expected to wear clothes free of holes, tears and other signs of wear.  Clothing with offensive or inappropriate designs or messages, or from other universities is not permitted.   

As a University that values inclusion and diversity, clothing of religious or ethnic significance is considered appropriate. 

The bottom-line is that we trust our team members to take responsibility for their dress and want team members to be comfortable at work. We ask that everyone use good judgment as to what represents the organization well and is in line with who we are culturally.
