Professional Attire Closet
Currently, we are temporarily halting clothing donations for the Professional Attire Closet. Information will be posted later on our website when we plan to resume accepting donations.
We know that a great suit can be a professional game-changer. Be confident in your look and find a suit to wear at the Professional Attire Closet.
- Suits are cleaned by Balfurd Dry Cleaners so you'll be ready to go when you walk out the door.
- Bring your student ID to access the closet.
- Limit of one outfit per student.
- The Professional Attire Closet exists to serve students in financial need and limited geographically with professional event needs like career fairs, interviews, and networking events. Please note that other needs cannot be accommodated.

The Clothing Transit is an opportunity for members of the queer and trans community to exchange clothing and accessories, including shoes, bags, hats, and jewelry – all free of cost. The intention of the Clothing Transit is to provide trans and gender non-conforming students with the freedom to comfortably find clothing that reflects their gender expression and identity without the discomfort of shopping in a traditional clothing store.
