As the seasons change and we begin to change wardrobes for the impending winter, many of us find ourselves with clothes that have gone out of style, no longer fit, or have been left untouched with the tags still intact. At one point or another, all students will need business professional clothing, whether for a case competition, networking night, presentation or even an interview.<\/p>\n

When I came in as a first-year student to the business school, I had no professional clothes, no suit, blouses, trousers or anything Grossman School of Business alumna Maddie Stoops said. However, as my aunt is a lawyer, she shipped me two full boxes of clothes, so when I joined the Grossman Student Advisory Committee (GSAC), I knew I wanted to put on some sort of event that would allow other students to have access to professional clothes. I was lucky that I had my aunt send me those clothes, but I was thinking, how do all these other students get clothes for their presentations, interviews and case competitions?<\/p>\n

Thanks to the generosity of Maddie’s aunt, the GSAC Professional Business Attire initiative was born,<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2021, and the current GSAC leadership team are enthusiastically prepping to host the second event. Their goal is to collect, and connect UVM students with affordable, donated professional clothing, so theyll be able to present their best selves regardless of the occasion.<\/p>\n

GSAC are now collecting donations of second-hand professional clothing and the event will take place late fall semester ahead of final presentations, case competitions and summer internship interviews. (Sale date coming soon)<\/p>\n

The Professional Business Attire initiative allows any UVM student to purchase donated business clothing with credit or debit cards; with the proceeds benefitting GSAC initiatives like the de-stress event, peer mentorship program and more.<\/p>\n

Please consider supporting this exciting student-driven initiative by donating. Donations are being accepted now through Friday, October 29th in the Grossman School of Business, Center for Student Success office in Kalkin Hall. Drop off in person or mail to 55 Colchester Ave, Suite 100 Burlington, VT 05405.<\/strong><\/p>\n
