Created with Care
The Clothing Transit is a community effort started in partnership with the student organization 3rd Way Collective, the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity, and Lutheran Campus Ministry. Through the support of the Philip N. Knutson Endowment along with a gift in memory of former Penn State student Eli Roe, the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity worked diligently to open the Clothing Transit as one of their new on-going signature programs during the spring 2018 semester.
Honoring Eli Roe
Eli Roe (who also used his birth name, Miriam) was a student at Penn State from 2013 to 2016, specializing in Rehabilitation and Human Services. As a senior in high school, Eli came to realize his transgender identity, and so he knew from personal experience how important it is for trans individuals to be able to express their identity through clothing. After Eli’s death in 2016, funds from his estate were given to support the Clothing Transit at the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity at Penn State University Park.
Eli’s life and passions touched many people, and he is sorely missed by his family and friends. Eli believed that authentic faith should be active, engaging people and issues in real time. It is very characteristic that a part of his legacy is the support of the Clothing Transit at Penn State.
Need Professional Attire?
The Professional Attire Closet, housed in the Bank of America Career Services Building, provides any Penn State student with a free professional suit for the academic year. No costs, no questions, just a professoinal fit that makes you look and feel your best.
