About the Career Closet
The Career Closet is a space where students/alumni can find free, professional clothing to help set them apart for an interview, internship, career fair, or any other professional event in their lives.
Ready to visit the Career Closet?
Students and alumni can drop in anytime between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (last entry at 4:30 p.m.) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The Career Closet is located in the Career Services Center in Old Main 280.
Use is on a first-come, first-served basis, with a maximum of one hour per visitor. If someone is already in the Career Closet, others will need to wait until the space becomes available.
