Requesting staff support for the Husky Career Closet
From the UW Career & Internship Center
On February 9th and 10th, 2022, the Career & Internship Center will be hosting a Grand Opening event for our new Husky Career Closet where students can ‘shop’ for clothes to support their job and internship search process, free of charge and with the support of Career & Internship Center staff members, all year-round. We want our students to feel confident and prepared as they attend career fairs and interviews or start new jobs and internships. For some, the workplace attire component of feeling confident and prepared can prove prohibitively expensive, and we want to help.
We know you already make incredible contributions of time and resources to the University of Washington community, but we’re hopeful you might help us continue this successful initiative. We’re looking for help in the following areas:
- Donations of new or gently used clothes: Click here for a list of suggested items.
- Donations of funds (no amount too small!): Click here to donate. Career & Internship Center team members will be thrifting in the weeks leading up to the event to fill clothing gaps and ensure that a diversity of item type and size are available for shoppers.
- Share this donation opportunity with your networks: We’d love your help in spreading the word to potential donors!
Donations can be dropped off at the Career & Internship Center in 134 Mary Gates Hall anytime between 9am – 4pm, Monday-Friday. Please note, the physical office space of the Career & Internship Center will be closed from December 20th – 31st, 2021. To receive a tax receipt, please complete and provide this Donation Form upon dropping off your donated items at the Career & Internship Center.
Thank you for considering, and for all that you already do to support our Huskies! Questions? Please don’t hesitate to contact cicevents@uw.edu.
