Dragon Career Closet
The Career Development Center is proud to announce that we will be launching the Dragon Career Closet in the Fall of 2023. This is an on-campus resource that allows current students to select gently used professional attire for interviews, work, events and other career-building activities free of charge.
We want students to look as professional and qualified on the outside as they are on the inside, to increase their confidence and decrease their stress. We are beginning to collect professional apparel for these purposes.
How can I participate in supporting the Dragon Career Closet?
You can support the Dragon Career Closet by donating appropriate clothing, purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist, contributing financially, or donating gift cards to local clothing retailers.
Dragon Career Closet accepts donations on campus in Flora Frick Hall 151, 1104 7th Ave S, Moorhead, Minnesota. If you would like to make a clothing donation, stop by our office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and place your items in our donation bin.
