Career Closet
The Career Closet was created to provide undergraduate and graduate 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.
Career Closet Fashion Show
September 15th | 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM | Pathways Center
The Career Closet Fashion Show will feature Emory students modeling student-styled looks from the Career Closet’s collection of professional attire.
The show will highlight options for interviews, networking events, presentations, and other professional settings while encouraging students to bring their own style to professional dress.
The event will include commentary from a guest panel featuring Octavius Terry, a former Project Runway contestant.
The fashion show will take place on the 1st floor of the Pathways Center.
Join us for the fashion show and enjoy free food at the reception that follows.
