What to pack: Dress for Competition Success!

You will need to wear dress clothes all three days (event orientation, opening session, role-play/presentations, math and econ exam, and closing session). No denim, cargo, cords, or sneakers allowed for sessions or competition. If you need help getting these items, please do not hesitate to ask. Improper dress code will result in score deductions.


The remainder of the time you may wear school appropriate casual clothing. Be sure to pack a warm jacket and comfortable shoes as you will be walking often!
