Posted: Wednesday, February 6, 2019JCPenney Suit-Up Event: February 24
The Career Development Center (CDC) will sponsor the second annual JCPenney Suit-Up Event on Sunday, February 24, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. at the Walden Galleria. JCPenney will open its doors to host Buffalo State students and alumni for a private shopping event, offering a 40 percent discount on men’s and women’s career dress apparel. This event will help students prepare for their job and internship interviews, as well as teach them about professional workplace attire.
We are encouraging advance registration to ensure that enough support is available for participants. Transportation will be provided for those who register in advance and indicate that they need transportation. The bus will depart campus from the front of the Towers (Tower Road), making stops at the Student Apartment Complex and Neuman Hall. Students and alumni may also travel directly to the store but are still encouraged to register in advance.
This year’s event is co-sponsored by the CDC, the Fashion and Textile Technology Department, the Professional Development Schools Consortium (PDS), and the Student Athletic Advisory Committee.
If you would like a CDC staff member to speak to your students briefly about professional dress in general or specifically about this event, please call the Career Development Center at 878-5811.
