Re: Hugs vs hand shakes at opening ceremony
I think FIRST should for the most part be considered and treated as a professional environment. However, I don't feel it's necessary to always treat it as such and act like it is such.
Would I go around hugging everyone instead of giving them a handshake in a professional environment? No.
In times of extreme happiness, excitement, jublance, sadness, grief, fear, or other emotional situations in a professional environment, would I hug them? Probably, if the persons body language expressed they were wanting a hug.
However, I believe the assumed intention should always be a handshake in a professional environment and you should not just assume a hug. That brings up an interesting situation though. Who is it appropriate for to indicate intentions for a hug? The mentor? The student? Award recipient? Award presentor? A female? A male?
