About the Career Closet

The Career Services Career Closet lends students, free of charge, appropriate interview attire for interviews, career fairs, and networking events. When entering a job interview or networking event, much of one's first impression is based on appearance. That first impression is crucial. The Career Closet ensures that all Penn State students are able to dress to impress and can feel confident at their next career-related event.

All clothing items are professionally dry-cleaned so you’ll be ready to go when you walk out the door.
