Olivia Weter, professional development speaker taught students the importance of professionalism in her program “One Step Ahead” Wednesday in the Student Center ballroom.

Weter was invited to present the program by CSC admissions representative Seth Hulquist.

“I feel that it is important that students from rural towns see that you can come from a small town and still go out in the world and be successful and bring that success home,” Hulquist said.

Weter originally came from Rapid City, S.D. She later graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City where she started her career and worked with celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Gwenyth Paltro, and Samuel L. Jackson.

The activities for the night included tips and tricks to land a job and form a good first impression for potential employers. This included goal-setting and how to shake a hand.

“I think fashion is important because it is a part of your overall image, and if it’s done correctly, it can lead you to success. You are being evaluated by your overall image and fashion plays a huge part of making a great first impression,” Weter said.
