The Professional Clothing Studio established by the Career and Life Design Center gives UCM students the opportunity to select professional and business casual clothing appropriate for job fairs, interviews, networking, and class presentations. This service is FREE to all current UCM students! Items are graciously donated 100% by faculty, staff, student organizations, families, community members, alumni and employer partners.
To access the Professional Clothing Studio, students can come visit our Walk-In Studio Experience (W.I.S.E.) Monday-Thursday 12:30-4:30 p.m., Friday 9:00 a.m.-11:00a.m. and a W.I.S.E. coach will be available to assist you. If you have any questions, you may contact The Career and LIfe Design Center at careers@ucmo.edu or (660) 543-4985.
UCM students are encouraged to stop by the Career and Life Design Center to access the Professional Clothing Studio. Feel free to look through our many options at a pace that suits you in a zero-pressure, judgment-free zone. Depending upon inventory, students may select up to four items per month, on a first come, first serve basis. Students must check out with a W.I.S.E. coach prior to leaving.
Donations are welcome to support UCM students during their professional journey. We gladly accept timeless pieces of all sizes, preferably purchased within the last five years and appropriate for professional purposes such as interviewing.
We can serve a significant number of students with the clothing donations we receive, but that limits us solely on the items given to us. In order for Professional Clothing Studio to meet the rising needs of our students, at times we may need to purchase clothing to fill in the gaps between what clothes are donated and what clothes are needed. Any financial assistance is welcome and very much appreciated! If you would like to contribute to the closet financially, please click on the link below.
