MURFREESBORO — As
MTSU’s spring 2017 commencement approaches, the future graduates’ attention
turns to job searches and the appropriate attire for the interviews.
Raiders’ Closet, the project that gathers and distributes
gently used business clothing for MTSU students, is seeking specific items to
replenish its inventory at this crucial time.
The founder and director of Raiders’ Closet, marketing
professor Virginia Hemby-Grubb, said the following are needed:
- Women’s suits, either with
jacket and slacks or jacket and skirt, in sizes 0, 2, 4, 6, 20, 22, 24 and
26;
- Men’s suits in sizes 36
regular, 36 short, 36 long, 28 regular, 38 short, 38 long, 60 regular and
60 long;
- Men’s dress shirts in
white, light blue or off-white, in sizes 15, 15-and-one-half and 20;
- Men’s ties in solid colors
with small dots or patterns, but no paisley or brightly colored ties;
- Men’s dress shoes, black
or burgundy, in any size.
“We have decided to return Raiders’ Closet to its original
purpose — to provide professional suits for students who are experiencing
financial difficulties and who cannot purchase suits for themselves,” said
Hemby-Grubb. “These students must be in their senior year at MTSU and preparing
for interviews for post-graduation jobs and/or internships.”
Students do not have to return or pay for clothing items
from Raiders’ Closet, which is located in Room 327 in the Keathley University
Center. Cash donations also are accepted to help pay for specific items or
sizes students may need.
To spread the word, Hemby-Grubb has distributed brochures to
offices around campus. To learn more, including up-to-date hours of operation,
