On Sunday, Aug. 24, incoming students are participating in a formal New Student Dinner with the president and administrators. All students are invited to wear formal clothing for this special event. In addition, students are often asked to wear professional clothing for job interviews, presentations, and internships. Some students might not own formal clothing, so we would like to offer up some options from the Career Closet to students in need.
If you have any gently used formal clothes, shoes, or accessories that you would like to donate to the Career Closet, please drop them off at the Student Success Center, or email Audrey at aashburn@smumn.edu to arrange an on-campus pick-up. We will be taking donations through Aug. 2. Please see below for a list of clothing items we are looking for.
