It’s your first impression, and the alum will think for a moment about whether she wants her alma mater to be represented by someone who looks like you. You should be comfortable, but you should also look presentable.

Slacks or khakis would be better than jeans, and probably more comfortable too. But the jeans will do in a pinch as long as they’re not ripped, bleached, skin-tight, or buckled under your butt (why does anyone wear clothes like that?).

Make sure your shoes are neat and presentable – polished if appropriate, at least clean if not. Loafers would be better than sneakers.
