Career Discovery and Success

The Career Discovery and Success launched the Campus Career Closet in 2017 as a way to provide students access to FREE professional attire appropriate for career fairs, interviews, networking events, and the workplace. Inventory includes suits, blazers, skirts, button-down shirts, and more. Our goal is to help students look their best throughout their job search so they can make a positive impression as they enter the professional world!

How it Works

The Campus Career Closet is located in the Career Discovery and Success on the 3rd floor of Mary Martin Hall. For information on an accessible location, please call 334-844-4744.
Students must schedule a Campus Career Closet appointment on Handshake.
Students may take up to 4 individual apparel items (a suit equals 2 items) per academic year.

This service is available to currently enrolled Auburn University students and AU alumni up to five years post-graduation. 

*Please note that the Campus Career Closet cannot guarantee the availability of all sizes and types of items.
