Career Threads: Inspire with Business Attire!
Help rising professionals dress for success
Be part of this exciting Career Threads initiative
Imagine getting ready for a major job interview or meeting. Chances are, you’ll spend a lot of time choosing the right clothes. The phrase “dress for success” carries real
meaning in the professional world.
For many Rutgers students who are trying to enter that competitive world, obtaining appropriate business attire can be a challenge. But a solution exists here at Rutgers–
Newark. It’s called Career Threads, a division of the Career Resource and Exploration Center.
Please consider taking part in the Career Threads initiative with a high-quality clothing donation. From now until the end of September, we are accepting much-needed
wardrobe items that can make a huge difference in a young professional’s future.
Examples of helpful clothing are:
- Blazers, collared or button-down shirts, polos, slacks, skirts, dresses, hijabs, etc.
- Accessories: ties, jewelry, belts, and shoes.
- Socks or stockings (must be new and still in packaging).
- All other items listed above must be gently used or new.
For your convenience, two days of the week are open for dropping off items. On Tuesdays, bring your gift to:
Rutgers University–Newark Alumni Center
72 Washington Street, Newark NJ 07102
Drop-off times: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
On Fridays, bring your donation to:
