Please Donate to the Career Development Center's Professional Attire Collection |
|
| |
|
 |
|
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.
