Professionalism in the Workplace!

During the week of September 2nd, nearly 200 Federal Work Study students attended 6 professionalism workshops spread out over 4 days in North Hall’s cafeteria. Group discussions included topics related to workplace expectations, office attire, punctuality, and appropriate behavior. 

After attending the workshops students were then given permission to begin working on the John Jay campus. Much rejoicing occurred.
