Ready to do a little cleaning in your closet? We need your help!
Each year, we have students 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.
The Career Development Center is planning to take donations of professional attire items through Friday, July 26 in preparation for our fall recruiting season. We will take ongoing donations outside of this timeframe, but this will be the first major push to get as many initial items as possible.
We will be accepting both men’s and women’s attire. All items need to be in good condition and already clean and ready to be given to students. We are hoping to get a variety of sizes and options, so that 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, located in the basement of the Student Success Center, room 0281, on the SIUE campus.
Please drop off items during regular business hours (M-F 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.).
Feel free to contact Carrie Smolar or Megan Gilbert at the Career Development Center at 618-650-3708 with any questions.
Thank you for your time and participation. Your donations can help make the difference in a student’s academic journey!
