Our Crowdfunding Groups
Celebrate #GivingTuesday by helping us stock the Career Closet! Your gift helps fill in unique sizing gaps, restock the most popular sizes and keep our garments clean and ready for Ole Miss students interviewing for internships or jobs. And guess what? We’ve got a “soleful” way to thank you!
Here is your “to-do list” for #GivingTuesday:
Let’s make a difference together! Every gift ensures a lasting legacy for the next generation of leaders.
Your support also counts toward Now & Ever: The Campaign for Ole Miss, a historic initiative to transform and strengthen our university community. Giving is easy! Ignite Ole Miss accepts PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay and all major credit cards.
The Career Closet's boutique space, complete with dressing rooms, is located in the South Oxford Center at 2301 South Lamar Boulevard, in room 1801. Please stop by to shop or donate quality clothing. Or, give $18.01 to show your support!
Even some of the most reasonably priced dress shirts can cost at least $40. For many students on a strict budget, that's out of reach. Our Career Closet has dress shirts for men and women to look their professional best. Your $40 gift can provide a dress shirt for a student!
Before the Career Closet had a beautiful permanent location in the South Oxford Center, the Career Center held pop-up boutiques outside their offices in Martindale. From the beginning, the Career Closet has been popular. The first day of the first Career Closet pop-up boutique, 96 students received professional outfits and styling. The new, permanent location allows the Career Center to serve even more students.
A new suit suitable for the office or a professional interview can cost, at minimum, $200. Your gift of $200 can provide a student with a new or gently used suit, tailoring, cleaning and styling.
In the first year of the Career Closet, more than 400 items of high quality, gently used clothing were donated for our students to choose from. While we love your clothing donations, gifts of money also allow us to buy new items in hard-to-find sizes or pay for cleaning.
We recently celebrated the anniversary of the first Career Closet pop-up boutique, which was held on Oct. 1, 2021. For the last three years, we have helped hundreds of students prepare for their professional life after Ole Miss. With your generous gifts, we will help thousands in the years to come!
