The event, a unique partnership between academia and the business community, marked its 30th anniversary with more than 550 industry professionals in attendance.

Nariyah Moore, a biological sciences major at Old Dominion University, knows making a good impression on a potential employer starts with dressing the part. But for a college student, professional attire often comes with a significant price tag.
