Comet Closet

ABOUT THE COMET CLOSET

 

The Comet Closet was established in 2015 as a valuable resource to provide professional clothing at no charge to students preparing for interviews or other professional events. Our mission is to ensure students can walk into an interview feeling confident inside and out. Research has shown that first impressions are often made in under 10 seconds and can factor in heavily towards a hiring decision. Available attire includes dress pants, skirts and blazers. Items are available on a 14-day rental basis and must be dry-cleaned before return. The Closet is available to all enrolled students who are currently in good academic standing.

 

 

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

 

Your contribution will not only provide a crucial career resource for a student in need but will also help put our talented students into important positions around the country. The Comet Closet relies on monetary contributions from our generous donors, particularly from our wonderful alumni community as well as our faculty and staff. A donation of any size helps us ensure the Comet Closet can maintain an inventory of appropriate business attire for our students during the interview process.
