TCU helps students dress for success with a free business attire pop-up shop
Published Sep 13, 2022
Nearly 250 students picked out a professional outfit on Monday during TCU’s first business attire pop-up shop. Sponsored by TCU Student Support Services, students “shopped” at the Brown-Lupton University Union Auditorium for an outfit suitable for a job interview or work. The shop will open to students again on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. “There is an assumption that TCU students are not in-need because TCU is a private university, but that could not be further from the truth,” said Jowelle Mitchell, the assistant director of STEM and Health Sciences TCU TRIO Student Support Services. The event is meant to make sure students are prepared for the Sept. 21 career fair. The pop-up shop is also equipped with dressing rooms so students can try on their outfits before taking them home. At the checkout, students are able to pick up a flyer containing information about consultants for their desired career paths.
