Nay. We’re not working at Sea World.

Clinical Assistant Professor
School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences 
Nay. Call me conservative, but I don’t feel they’re appropriate for work. They make too much noise, can be a safety concern and people don’t always wear nice/clean ones. Besides, anyone that knows me knows I’m all about my heels!
Nancy M. Battaglia
Associate Director
Alumni Relations
I’m emphatically against flip flops in the workplace, unless your workplace happens to be the pool. That said, I’ll endorse any footwear that doesn’t imply that you’re on your way to the water flume.
