Welcome to the Career Closet Page

Did you know, Mercy University has a student career closet where you can receive free professional clothing to attend interviews and career events. The idea is that when you look good you feel good!

Remember, you are capable of achieving your career goals. When you need assistance, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with a career coach through Handshake to get started. Best of luck.

Career Closet Overview

Need a suit for an interview, career fair, or work? Current Mercy University undergraduate students are welcome to take and keep a professional outfit for free!


Mercy’s Career Closet is located on the Bronx campus. Pop-up shops open periodically in Westchester and Manhattan. We can also ship pieces to your campus to help you access our inventory.

Clothing Donations

Do we accept clothing donations?

Yes! We are accepting donations of new or lightly used clean attire that is appropriate for a job interview, including button-down shirts and professional tops, pants, skirts, dresses, blazers, and ties. Please email Shakeisha at sravenell@mercy.edu.

Schedule Your Visit

Please email Shakeisha Ravenell (sravenell@mercy.edu) to schedule time to visit the Career Closet.

You can also go to Handshake and book an appointment under the “Career Closet Appointment” type.

Grab a Blazer at a Career Fair

Did you know?! At our Career Fair and some of our career campus events, we will have a pop-up career closet for you to borrow or keep a Blazer. Working the room and connecting with Employers is a tall task, but, much more manageable when you are walking in style! Be sure to stop by after checking in at the event and grab your lucky Blazer, while supplies last!
