Career Closet

The Career Closet is a free resource that provides Adelphi students with professional attire to help them feel confident and prepared for interviews, internships, career fairs, conferences, and other professional opportunities. By offering access to business and business-casual clothing at no cost, the Career Closet removes financial barriers and helps ensure every student can show up looking and feeling ready for what’s next.

All clothing is donated and available to students at no charge.
