CSO Career Closet – Free Business Suits
College of Business Administration alumni are
passionate about helping students in need with not
only the cost of their education, but also their transition to
the workplace. As such, the College created a donor fund
from which business suits are purchased for business students
in need. The office of financial aid provides the Career Services
Office with a list of business students in good standing who
have high financial need. These students receive a letter
from the Dean informing them that they qualify for a Career
Closet Scholarship, which includes a free tailored suit if they
complete a set of career-preparation requirements through
our Career Services Office (résumé review, interview coaching,
business etiquette). This program is currently supported by
our corporate partner Men’s Wearhouse (JCPenny in 2016,
Dillard’s in 2017) which provides suits at cost, as well as
on-campus suit fitting/ordering and free tailoring.

As Cathy DuBois prepared to assume the role of Chair
for the AACSB Responsible Management Education

RME Learning Journey. Thirty participants, representing
business schools across the globe, toured MA’O Organic Farms
in Wainai, Hawaii. They learned about Hawaiian culture and
the farm’s work to help indigenous Hawaiians obtain a college
education. Participants also shared with one another the SDG-
related initiatives at their business schools.
