Put Your Best Fit Forward

The Clothes Closet provides assistance to students who are seeking to obtain proper clothing attire for an interview, a career fair, a conference, or the first week of work. Any student is welcome to visit the Clothes Closet and can take 8 items of professional clothing a semester. Students can seek the assistance of a Clothes Closet assistant by appointment or by walking in during our business hours.
