Career Development Center Collecting Professional Attire Donations

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 August 4 in preparation for our fall 2017 recruiting season.

We will host our second Cougar Career Closet event on Tuesday, Sept. 12 to provide students with lightly worn professional attire.
