The Hiatt Career Closet provides undergraduate students FREE access to professional attire for interviews, career fairs, networking events and other career-oriented activities and occasions. Our goal is to help students feel prepared, professional and comfortable when making a first impression without having to leave campus or spend a lot of money.
Hours of Operation
*New hours for fall 2020*
Tuesdays and Fridays: 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Contact the Hiatt Front Desk to schedule a time to come in: hiattcenter@brandeis.edu. We are complying with the University's social distance rules and can only have one student shopper in the career closet space at a given time.
How It Works
The Hiatt Career Closet is located on the second floor of the Hiatt Career Center in the Usdan Student Center. Students may take (and keep) any items of their choosing. Before shopping, we highly suggest that students review our online inventory to see what is available based on your specific needs.
Inclusion
The Hiatt Career Closet strives to include all shapes, sizes, and orientations. Each time a student visits the closet, they will be treated with sensitivity and respect. With the understanding that not all users identify with a specific gender, our garments are categorized into two categories: masculine style and feminine style. Within these categories are a breakdown of the item type (suit, jacket, blouse, pants, etc) and how many are in our current inventory. Students should feel free to shop in whatever category they choose.
Donations
Accepted donations must be new or gently worn, in good condition and cleaned prior to donating. Items must be of high-quality: not ripped, stained, broken or missing pieces (buttons, zippers, straps). Review our donation guidelines and standards.
Donations can be brought to the Hiatt Career Center during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm) or dropped off in our donation bin after hours. For additional information, contact Kristin Menconi, assistant director of marketing and communications, at (781)-736-8718 or kmenconi@brandeis.edu.
