Do you need professional attire for your upcoming graduation, career fairs, internships, or interviews?
This fall semester, we are bringing back our Professional Wardrobe Closet initiative. You can visit the Isenberg Closet to browse our collection of free new and gently used items!
The Isenberg Closet is offered through the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, and is housed within the Office of Career Success (OCS) on the second floor, in suite N207 of the Berthiaume Business Innovation Hub.
Hours of Operation: September 30 - December 6, 2024
Monday – Thursday
9 a.m. - 12 p.m.: By appointment only
12:45 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.: Drop-in to OCS, no appointment necessary
2 p.m. – 5 p.m.: By appointment only (last appointment at 4:30 p.m.)
Friday
9 a.m. – 12 p.m.: Drop-in to OCS, no appointment necessary
Please Note:
- During an appointment, you can expect to have support from trained student staff while searching for and trying on items in a safe, clean, and private space.
- Students can select two items from the Isenberg Closet that fit your needs—at no cost!
- All appointments, including the last one at 4:30 p.m., will conclude by 5 p.m.
The Isenberg Closet cannot guarantee the availability of all sizes and types of items. Inventory is dependent on donations. We try to keep the site as up-to-date as possible, but there may be some differences in item availability between the online site and your visit to the closet.
At this time, our office is not prepared to service non-Isenberg students. Our capacity is limited, and we are actively looking at options to be able to assist all UMass Amherst students in the foreseeable future, but that is not yet within our scope.
Making a good impression and feeling confident as you navigate your professional journey is one of the most important things you can do to stand out! Dressing for success can make a huge difference and the Isenberg Closet can help you look and feel your best.
For a limited number of students in need who cannot find appropriate clothing at the Isenberg Closet, we can provide a JCPenney code (30 percent discount), one $25 gift card, or other available resources.
The Isenberg Closet is one of many resources offered in partnership with the Office of Career Success and the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Isenberg. We are grateful to TJX, which serves as the corporate sponsor for this initiative.
"It’s not about the fancy clothes or the popular name brand. It’s about feeling good about yourself and choosing clothing that reflects who you are."
