Career Closet
The Career Closet was created to provide undergraduate Emory students the ability to borrow clothing for career fairs, interviews, or other professional and social events.
The closet was made possible with donations from alumni, staff, faculty and community partners.
Check Out Process
The Career Closet is available to currently enrolled undergraduate Emory students.
Students are required to make an appointment to use the Career Closet (Tuesday - Thursday) using the link below. Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive an email with instructions for your appointment day.
Walk-in days do not require a student to schedule an appointment. Students are required to check-in at the front desk before using the Career Closet.
