To help students who need professional clothes, our Career Center created a ‘Professional Closet’ to ensure they have access to professional clothing and a knowledge of how to dress for important occasions (i.e. interviews, jobs, internships, etc.). To help get this project off the ground, a request was sent out across campus and throughout the community asking for donations of lightly used professional clothing. This clothing was then gathered, laundered, and stored on racks in a giant walk-in closet area on our campus. Then, students who did not have professional clothing for a job interview, would visit our Career Center, get access to the clothing, and learn about professional attire. Through financial donations, these clothes were then washed/dry cleaned after use and returned to the rack for another student to use down the road.
