Dear Allies,

We are days away from PrideFest 2018! This year’s theme is Remember. Rise. Respect. 

We invite you to represent our University community by walking with us during the Parade on Sunday, June 24 in St. Louis

Safe Zone of SIUE, sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Students Affairs, will host a booth at the festival to support the community and to tell visitors great things about our University.

We are looking for volunteers and shift leaders to staff our booth, and help us give away spin-the-wheel prizes. This is a fun time, and the energy at the festival is exciting and positive.

We need volunteers in as little as one-hour increments. Shift leaders are needed in three-hour increments. Shift leaders will serve as a backup to volunteers not able to attend, assist with setup or takedown and call authorities in case of an emergency.

For more information, contact Shelley Price-Williams at shewill@siue.edu or Mary Sue Love at marlove@siue.edu. 
Visit the event website for festival information at PrideSTL.

Please sign up below:

• To be a shift leader
• To be a volunteer

Each year we have students that are in need of professional attire for interviews, career fairs, networking events and practicum/co-op/internship experiences.

Unfortunately, not all students have the resources to obtain the appropriate attire for these occasions. This can decrease students’ opportunities and self-esteem.

You can help! Ready to do a little cleaning in your closet?

The Career Development Center is planning to take donations of professional attire items through July 13 in preparation for the fall recruiting season.

We will be accepting both men’s and women’s attire. All items need to be in good condition, clean and ready to be given to students. We are hoping to get a variety of sizes and options, so we can make this service available to any student in need.

Items can include:
• Suits
• Dresses
• Skirts
• Dress Pants/Khakis
• Sweater sets
• Polos
• Blouses
• Belts
• Ties
• Anything that could be worn for a professional event with employers
• Anything that would be appropriate as a starting point for a professional wardrobe

Items can be dropped off at the Career Development Center (CDC), located in the basement of the Student Success Center, room 0281. Please drop off items during regular business hours from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.

For more information, contact Carrie Smolar at 650-3708.
