The Center for Career Education (CCE) seeks to support students through all aspects of internship and job preparation. In preparation for an interview, career fair or networking event, we encourage students to set a positive first impression through their attire. Through a generous donation from one of our recruiting partners, Macy's and Bloomingdales, the Center for Career Education offers the Clothing Closet to ensure students are able to dress professionally for their career preparation.

This program allows current students at Columbia University to borrow suits and accessories for the purpose of attending an interview, career fair, or professional networking event. The Clothing Closet features 14 Calvin Klein suits in black, about one each in sizes 2 - 14 for women and one each in sizes 36 - 44 for men. Gentlemen may borrow from a selection of ties, and ladies may choose from several necklaces. To request a suit, students must first read and complete a policy agreement form. If the desired size is available, students can then pick up the suit from the Center for Career Education office on a Monday and return it on Friday. For more information regarding return dates, damages, and trying on your suit, please visit our FAQ page or you can request a suit now.
