While professional attire has become more casual in recent months, it's still important to make a positive first impression. To help students build their career wardrobes, Career Services is teaming up with JC Penney and the UNL LGBTQA+ Center on two events leading up to the Spring Career Fair.
Husker Suit-Up offers students discounts on career and dress apparel at JC Penney either in-store or online. To receive their Extra 30% coupon code for the select apparel, students can text HUSKERSUITUP to 67292. This code can be used in-store or online. When shopping online, go to the special JCPenney Suit-Up site (http://www.jcpenney.com/m/suit-up) and enter the coupon code at checkout to get the discount. Husker Suit-Up runs January 30 through February 6, 2022.
Lavender Closet Pop-Up, a collaboration between Career Services and the UNL LGBTQA+ Center, offers students the opportunity to pick up identity-affirming career attire at no cost. The Pop-Up, an extension of the LGBTQA+ Center’s Lavender Closet resource, will be held February 1-3, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in University Career Services, 225 Nebraska Union. During the pop-up event, there will be space to try on clothing and Career Coaches available for consultation on career attire and other career fair and career development concerns.
Whether preparing for an internship or a first job out of college, professional attire can help students feel confident and ready for early career opportunities.
