Other information about shopping the Career Closet:
Trying on Clothes: While we do not have designated dressing rooms, students are welcome to use the nearby restrooms to try on clothing during their visit. Items may be taken home to try on. However, they must be returned within three days in the same condition they were borrowed. Students are responsible for any cleaning necessary before returning items. You will be asked to sign an agreement before exiting the closet. This ensures that all students have access to clean and professional attire.
Shopping Assistance: We understand the importance of feeling comfortable while shopping for professional attire. If you would prefer to shop with a staff member or volunteer of a specific gender, we are happy to accommodate your request. Please let us know when scheduling your appointment, or contact us in advance at [email protected], so we can ensure the right team member is available to assist you. Your comfort and confidence are our top priorities!
