Donation bins coming to Vancouver campus for Dress-A-Coug

Help students suit up for the workforce by donating new or clean, gently-used professional attire, including dress shirts, pants, skirts, suits, accessories, belts, dress shoes and ties.

Collection bins will be out Jan. 16 – 26 in the Dengerink Administration Building, Library, Student Services Center near the Cougar Center, and the Firstenburg Student Commons near the Office of Student Involvement on the Vancouver campus. If the items you are donating are permanent press and easily wrinkled if placed in a collection bin, take them directly to the Student Resource Center.

Students will have an opportunity to select an outfit 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Feb. 6 and 7 at the Dress-A-Coug clothing giveaway. Students will wear their new business attire to the spring Career and Internship Fair and for interviews.
