To those who participated in the Professional Clothing for Success and everyone else who may be reading

I am hoping that a lot of students took advantage of the professional clothing for success store which was open this past Monday and Tuesday. If you happened to see signs posted around campus about the event hopefully you got a chance to stop in. I made a point to get to campus early Tuesday so that I could make it in. I was a little worried that maybe all the good items would have been picked over by the time I arrived since I couldn't stop in on Monday because I had to work. I'm very picky about my clothes especially because I can't find much that fits right. I did however find two great shirts that will look very nice for interviews and I can wear them on my internship next summer. Derrick came with me and looked through the mens items- believe it or not he found two polo and three button up shirts, as well as three ties to go with the button up shirts. The clothes were gently worn so Derrick and I will get good use out of our new but used items that we got totally free! It was really nice to have the store there and I hope others got some really nice things to wear as well. It was sponsored by the School of Education and the SOE Student Education Association and I wanted to give them thanks for allowing students to come in to pick out clothing that was much appreciated (and not to mention needed). Now I wanted to have pictures to post of us modeling our new outfits but time has gotten away and I haven't had any time to take any pictures of the clothing we got but it is besides the point because I just wanted to say thanks to those involved sponsering as well as working shifts during the store hours. For helping us pick out our items, fold and bag them to take home, thank you for taking your time- we greatly appreciate it!
