Career Closet

The CoBA Career Closet was established in 2016 to help students present themselves professionally for interviews, presentations, and networking events.

Since its launch, more than 1,000 students have borrowed over 2,200 clothing items to dress for success.

Available Items:

• Suits, blazers, shirts, and blouses

• Ties, belts, shoes, and handbags

For Students: Students may borrow complete business suits or pieces to complement their outfits, selecting professional attire appropriate for numerous business functions, including interviews, business dinners, professional meetings, and career fairs.

The Checkout Process: Students can schedule an appointment to visit the Career Closet. They will receive a confirmation email once their appointment is scheduled.

On the day of the appointment, students will check in, and the BPC's Student Employee team will assist them with check-out.

Students are allotted two weeks to borrow professional attire and to utilize the padfolio.

For Donors: We welcome donations of new or gently used business clothing. 

To donate: Email placement@siu.edu or call (618) 453-2603
