Career Week Clothing Drive

The Vincentian mission at DePaul encourages giving back to our communities and helping those in need. In keeping with this mission, Career Week 2010 has added a clothing drive. During Career Week, DePaul will be accepting donations of gently worn women’s business professional attire, shoes and jewelry to support the efforts of Bottomless Closet, a workforce development organization in Chicago. Bottomless Closet supports women in transition by providing professional business clothing, image and career skills coaching, to empower them to interview with confidence, gain employment and achieve economic self-sufficiency.

Donations will be accepted Feb. 15-19 only at drop-off locations at the Alumni Center (2400 N. Sheffield Ave.) and the Career Week Info Desk (DePaul Center, 11^th Floor, 1 E. Jackson Blvd.).

Career Week 2010 has been expanded to include nine days of networking, connecting and learning! Events are designed specifically for DePaul adult students, graduate students, and alumni and will take place on the Loop, Lincoln Park and suburban campuses. Events are free or have a nominal fee.
