This is Maddie LaDue, an undergraduate student at Oregon State University – College of Business. Currently, I am in a business class working on a project called Dress for Success. Our goal is to collect business professional attire
to rent out and sell in Benny’s Business Closet at Oregon State University. This term we will be holding a huge sale of the clothes to promote the business closet and then next term we will be organizing a fashion show to teach students how to properly wear the attire. The aim of the Closet is to
make professional attire readily available to students who have interviews, networking events, or other social commitments who wouldn’t normally be able to afford or have access to professional dress. My request is that you and your colleagues would be willing to donate your unused or unwanted professional attire from your field of work.

The type of students that we are trying to hire can come from any major, however, in the past, a majority have been business students, specifically accounting or finance majors.

To apply for the position, a completed application with a cover letter and resume need to be sent to aabc.sec@oregonstate.edu or dropped off at the Student Experience Center, Suite 350 M-F between 8AM-5PM.
