Charlie’s Career Closet

Located on the First floor of East Hall and managed by the Academic and Career Planning Center, Charlie’s Career Closet can help USD students embody success in their professional journeys. In addition to clothing, students can also receive assistance with resume writing, job searching, interviewing, building a professional brand and more.

Student workers will be present to assist students as they shop current inventory and help with wardrobe selection. Students are eligible to receive 10 free items per semester with their current USD student ID. Students may also contact career@usd.edu to arrange an alternative time to shop.
