Clothing drive collects business attire for students
It's a sad day for some college students when they must trade in their beloved wardrobe of T-shirts and tennis shoes for one of fancy suits and leather shoes. The price tag attached to making the switch renders the process even more painful. With the average cost of today's professional wardrobe costing several hundred dollars, entering the real world has the potential to put a giant hole in the pockets of young professionals. This cost is one of the factors that pushed Delta Epsilon lota to host a professional clothing drive at the University.
BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com
Donations will be accepted at eight locations on campus.
"On average a wardrobe can cost about $100 to $150," said Erin Wolfram, staff advisor of Delta Epsilon Iota, a career-focused honor society. "That's minimal though, a lot of times they can be at an upwards of $300."
"We're looking to collect different types of business attire," said Nate Phillips, DEI president. "Ties, jackets, slacks — we're open to pretty much all types of professional clothing except shoes."
The drive began Oct. 1 and runs throughout the month of October.
DEI came up with the idea for the drive after hearing about a similar program at Kansas State University. The idea is to use the clothing collected to open a professional clothing closet next semester in the University Career
Center Offices in room 110 of the Burge Union.
"With the closet we'll make an inventory of everything that we've collected and then organize it by type and size," Phillips said. "If a student comes in and finds something that they can use, it's theirs to keep."
When the closet opens next semester, it will be staffed by UCC workers and DEI volunteers and allow students to come in during the week and pick a total of five clothing
items at a time.
"We're going to have the closet open during our normal 9 to 5 hours throughout the week but then have extended hours before business fairs and other events," Wolfram said.
professional clothing closet will help make finding a job in today's economy a bit easier for KU students.
Members of DEI hope that the
"The way you dress is a large part of making a good impression during an interview to land a job," Phillips said. "Everyone should
have the opportunity to make that strong first impression."
The Career Center will continue collecting donations after the end of the October drive.
