UNCG Career Closet
Professional confidence for Spartans, powered by the UNCG community.
The UNCG Career Closet gives current students access to free, professional attire for interviews, career fairs, and networking events. Every piece comes from generous donations by faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners who want to help students enter a room feeling confident and prepared.
Why It matters
The cost of a blazer or a pair of dress shoes
shouldn’t stand between a student and their next opportunity.
Donations go directly to students preparing for an interview, career fair, or first day of a new job.
What We’re Looking For….
We’re building a collection that reflects both business-professional standards and how Spartans dress today.
Yes Please!
- Blazers, suit jackets, and suits
- Dress shirts, blouses, and button-downs
- Slacks, skirts, and dress pants
- Professional dresses and jumpsuits
- Ties, belts, and simple professional accessories
- Dress shoes and flats (clean, good condition)
- Items that are new or gently used — clean, unstained, and ready to wear
- Clothing that represents current and timeless fashion trends
Please skip these!
- Casual wear (t-shirts, jeans, athletic wear)
- Items that are worn, stained, or in need of repair
- Items with strong odors (smoke, perfume, pet hair)
- Costume or novelty pieces
- Items missing buttons, zippers, or other closures
Any donated items that aren’t quite right for UNCG’s Professional Career Closet will be redirected to the ADS/WGS Closet, Spartan Open Pantry, or a community organization that the clothing is better aligned to support.
