Description

First Impressions Matter: Confidence to Career

At Claudia’s Career Closet, we know preparation builds confidence. Oklahoma State University students are talented, driven and ready to succeed - but not all have access to the professional attire needed for interviews, career fairs, internships and networking opportunities.

The First Impressions Matter: Confidence to Career campaign aims to raise $5,000 to fund 50 complete professional suits for students with financial need. Every gift directly supports a student preparing to take the next step toward their career goals.

With support from the Cowboy family - alumni, faculty, staff, employers, parents and friends - we can remove barriers to opportunity and ensure students feel prepared walking into any professional setting.

Your support allows students to focus on what matters most: demonstrating their skills, experience and potential.

Thank you for investing in OSU students and their futures. Go Pokes.
