Business and Professional Clothes Closet

Career Planning and Placement Services has an invitation with your name written on it! To what? I am so glad you asked! It's an invitation to become a donor to our new Business and Professional Clothes Closet!

We would like to offer both our male & female students the opportunity to take advantage of our Business and Professional Clothes Closet this Fall. So, we are asking you to donate business suits, ties, mens belts, dresses, casual outfits, and shoes. However, there are guidelines:
All clothing donations must be in good condition, dry cleaned on hangers and ready to wear to an interview.
Clothing must be less than 3 years old and/or contemporary in style.
When donating clothing or other items, please remember that our students want to achieve a current, professional appearance. Please donate items that you would feel comfortable wearing on an interview yourself.
This service will be free of charge to any student participating in a job interview or one of our career fairs.
This program will help enhance their search for employment by taking on a professional appearance at job interviews as well. Your donations of interview-appropriate clothing will help them make that first impression a positive one. Most important, they will look and feel confident.

Contact Vanessa Davis in the Placement Office for more information.
