Your image is your visual resume. And in this competitive world, you'll want all the leverage you can get. Always remember the way you look and dress announces the outcome others can expect from you, and you'll be treated accordingly.

These were the salient points stressed as Aura launched its corporate day last March 21, 2009 spearheaded by the College Executive Vice President and PMAP-Subic Chapter President Dr. Edith Geniza at the College Amphitheater. In this project, the members of the Aura community from graduate students and administrators to faculty members are required to clad themselves in corporate attires reflecting power dressing.

During the launching, Dean Edgar Geniza, the College President stressed in his opening message that in today's competitive world, IMAGE is our most powerful instrument. He, in fact underscored that our future career, relations & happiness basically depend on it, hence dressing down can create or reflect one's individual culture, a decent and respectable image hence, he encouraged everyone to dress tastefully and properly to present a good professional and competent appearance. The College President further enunciated in his message that power dressing could create a polish and more professional look.

In the same event, Dr. Edith Geniza acknowledged the support of the Graduate School Association for the support they have accorded with this project. She announced that the CORPORATE DAY shall now be practiced once every trimester.

The College Vice President in her short message discussed that power dressing creates an appropriate and effective professional image and further added that our wardrobe selection can have significant impact in our goals and objectives as well as relations to others everyday. She ended her statement by saying that if we look good it has positive physical and psychological effects on others.

The activity ended with the selection of winners who best exemplified power dressing.
