A special thank you to Chancellor Martin for his generous donation to the Professional Clothes Closet and his continued support of student success! 👔

A few of our Career Peers had the opportunity to stop by and share our appreciation in person. Donations like this help WashU students feel prepared and confident for interviews, career fairs, internships, and everything in between.

The Professional Clothes Closet is always accepting donations, and we’re grateful for every contribution that helps us support students.

✍️ Recruiters spend 6 seconds on your resume - less than it takes to read this caption
✍️ “Responsible for” and “assisted with” are not strong phrases to start a bullet point and they are more on resumes than you think -> check out the top 205 action verbs on our website: https://buff.ly/s3kkYDe
