Forester Career Closet

The Career Closet is located in the basement in Deerpath Hall. Operated by the Gorter Family Career Advancement Center and made possible by generous clothing donations from the Forester community, this campus resource helps students to dress their best for interviews, networking events, internships and other professional activities.
