A special thank you to Chancellor Martin for his generous donation to the Professional Clothes Closet and his continued support of student success! πŸ‘”

A few of our Career Peers had the opportunity to stop by and share our appreciation in person. Donations like this help WashU students feel prepared and confident for interviews, career fairs, internships, and everything in between.

The Professional Clothes Closet is always accepting donations, and we’re grateful for every contribution that helps us support students.
