Bogey's Career Closet for McKendree Students

Bogey’s Career Closet is a program established by Career Services and the School of Business that allows currently enrolled McKendree University students to select business attire donated by McKendree faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community residents.  Students can select up to four free items per academic year.  A maximum of one suit can be selected unless a different suit is donated to the Career Closet at the appointment.  Our goal is to assist students in need of business attire for networking events, career fairs, interviews, and other professional events.  We want students to look and feel their best as they enter the next stage in their career.  Learn more about professional dress recommendations!

Bogey’s Career Closet operates through donations, so we cannot guarantee the availability of sizes and types of items.
