国产AV Students Can Borrow Professional Attire at No Cost

Professional Attire Closet with Melissa Hoffman

May 16, 2019

Starting this fall, University of Northern Colorado students will be able to dress for success for free thanks to a new clothing lending program.

The Professional Attire Closet is being created for students to borrow clothing for interviews, networking events and other professional opportunities. Clothing includes suits, sports coats, pants, skirts, button-up shirts, blouses, ties and belts.

鈥淲e think professional attire shouldn鈥檛 be the obstacle that sets 国产AV students back from succeeding in any situation,鈥� said 国产AV Professional Experience Coordinator Melissa Hoffman, who oversees the project. 鈥淲e hope this Professional Attire Closet will help eliminate that obstacle.鈥�

Hoffman received $5,000 in funding from the Monfort College of Business Support Funds. She worked with MCB Senior Director of Development John Paradis, Career Counselor Karen Eichel, Career Services Director Ren茅e Welch, and Assistant Dean of Student Engagement Evan Welch to ensure the closet鈥檚 successful formation.

How it works

Students can make an appointment to visit the closet in Kepner Hall room 1095F by contacting Hoffman at 970-351-4589 or Melissa.Hoffman@unco.edu. Students will need to bring identification and their Bear Number to their scheduled appointment time before they try on outfits.

Students can borrow one full outfit for a few days before and after the professional event and then must return the outfit. Clothes will be dry cleaned at 国产AV alumna-owned in Greeley.

The closet will have a variety of clothes in numerous sizes; however, if a size isn鈥檛 available, then the funds can cover filling in any gaps. Hoffman encourages students to give feedback on the closet, so it can be as useful as possible.
