WWU Give Day 2023

Be a part of WWU Give Day TODAY, May 25th! 

 Due to an increasing awareness of and use among students and alumni,  we’re asking for YOUR support of the WWU Career Closet!  Since this fall, we've had over 275 visits and received thousands of dollars worth of professional attire donations!  

Learn about the positive impacts of this resource!  This past year, the WWU Career Closet has been featured in video, print and annual publications produced by Western Washington University..  

Please consider supporting this resource during WWU Give Day 2023!  Funds raised will help support the:

• Expansion of the "career closet on the go”—a rolling rack of clothing hosted by departments in the spaces where students gather

Give Day 2022 Impact

Thanks to the generosity of donors, we raised approximately $1300 to provide scholarships for seven students to participate in the Career Preparation course taught by our career counselors. One of the recipients shares her positive experience in the class:

“Throughout my college education, I have never taken a course that created a more supportive and encouraging atmosphere.  This course allowed me to learn more about myself and find a career that aligns with my true values.”
