Rocky's Closet

Rocky’s Closet is an initiative that provides students with free professional clothing and essentials. While you may hear “dress for the job you want,” access to professional attire is not always easy or affordable. Rocky’s Closet helps ensure you feel confident and prepared by offering a welcoming space where you can build a wardrobe at no cost.
