When I say "we," I mean Penn State students. That's correct. I believe the actions of a few in the student population place judgment on the general student population.

Now, this concept of a few affecting many isn't new. How this hits "us" is in the way that some students present themselves to prospective employers on campus.

This semester alone, I've attended three information sessions, and at each, there were some students dressed as casually as they would be going to a beer party: jeans and a T-shirt. Most, if not all information sessions are business professional or business casual, at the least.

Moreover, the ill-prepared questions asked by the students of the corporate recruiters such as "What's your stock price today?" are frustrating. Adding to this frustration is that some professors require students to attend these information sessions.

If I were a professor and my students went to an information session in anything less than business casual, I would consider that a failing grade.

As a student, I want to present myself and market myself the best way possible. In the short term, I should be welcoming these actions because that gives me the opportunity to separate myself at first glance.

However, in the long term, "we" should all be concerned with future employers gauging the quality of the Penn State student offerings and discontinuing their recruitment efforts at Penn State by the actions of a few.
