Additional Info
Closet events are a large scale version of our appointment hours. These events are open to all University of Michigan Students and typically take place before the Career Expo. Clothes Closet events are a great chance to come the Clothes Closet during a walk-in setting--no appointment necessary! At high traffic times, there may be a 30-minute wait. Come stop by and get prepared for the next career expo or your next interview.
Want to help support the University Career Center's Clothes Closet?
You can host a bin in your office and help us stock our Closet. We will drop off and pick up a bin that your office can host from 1 to 2 weeks. We appreciate any and all help! Your contributions really make a difference for students -- your donations allow them to dress for success!
If you are interested in hosting a bin, please fill out the form below and our Clothes Closet Coordinator will reach out to you with more information and marketing material. Thank you!
Monetary donations are also welcomed. Funds from monetary donations are used to fill any existing gaps in the Closet inventory to ensure students have the best experience in developing their professional wardrobes.
