Career Closet

Welcome to the Saint Elizabeth University Career Closet

The SEU Career Closet is a valuable resource designed to support students as they prepare for internships, interviews, career fairs, conferences, and other professional opportunities. Conveniently located on the third floor of Mahoney Library and managed by the Office of Career Services, the closet offers students access to free business casual and professional attire.

The collection includes new and gently used clothing such as suits, dress shirts, blouses, slacks, skirts, dresses, and professional accessories in a variety of sizes and styles. The goal of the Career Closet is to help students feel confident and prepared without the financial burden of purchasing professional clothing.

Students interested in using the Career Closet are encouraged to visit and explore the available options.
