Invest in student success: Donate to the Career Clothing Closet
UCSC Career Success helps students prepare for interviews and internships through its Clothing Closet, offering free professional attire each quarter and welcoming donations to support student success.
When it comes to interviews, career fairs, and internships, confidence matters, and sometimes confidence starts with what you wear. The University of California, Santa Cruz Career Success Clothing Closet helps students present their most professional selves by providing free, lightly used professional clothing each quarter. Students can visit the Career Success office and select up to three items per quarter to feel polished, prepared, and ready to make a strong first impression.
To keep this valuable resource stocked and accessible for all students, the Career Success team is seeking donations of new or lightly used professional clothing. Blazers in sizes small through large and dress shoes are especially needed, though other interview-appropriate pieces are welcome. Donations should be clean, gently worn, and suitable for professional settings.
Community members can drop off items at 125 Hahn Student Services, East Entrance, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Questions can be emailed to Career Success.
