by Husky Closet Collective
The Career Closet is a giveaway of gently worn business clothing to assist students in preparing for Career Fair and other career opportunities. Last year, between the fall and spring Career Closets, we were able to give away 1,600 items to 420 students!
In order to provide as many options for students as possible, we need to secure donations of professional clothing and shoes. We will be accepting donations of gently worn, clean business clothing through Feb. 9 at noon. Donated items will be available to all Michigan Tech students at no cost.
The Career Closet will take place Feb. 9 from 1-5 p.m. in the Superior Room and Makerspace in the Memorial Union Building. Another giveaway is planned in fall 2024 on Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
If you would like to volunteer at the event, please sign up through GivePulse or email us at huskycloset@mtu.edu.
While we will accept any new or gently used professional items, we do have some high-priority items:
- Hangers
- Paper grocery bags or reusable grocery totes
- Men’s shoes
- Men’s dress shirts
- Men’s suits
- Ties
- Women’s size small tops
- Women’s size 0-6 dress pants
Donated clothing may be dropped off at any of the following locations:
- College of Business
- Dean of Students Office
- Career Services
- University Images
- Residence Education and Housing Services
- Superior National Bank
- American Forest Management
Or, boxed clothing can be mailed to:
Residence Education and Housing Services
1701 Townsend Drive
153W Wadsworth Hall

Thank you to all who have supported this effort. This event is donation and volunteer based, and we could not do it without the help and support of our Husky community!
