Our START interns need to get it together. Ripped jeans. T shirts. Shorts. At the office-what is this? FYI, I'm black and was also the equivalent to a START intern at another firm. Do I say something?

A1 start is our minority freshman/sophomore internship program, just by the nature of the program there are kids that come through that have great potential but due to their upbringing aren't quite as polished. I was a start intern and there were folks that didn't know what it was to dress and act appropriately in a professional environment.
