Our mission is to provide University of Iowa students, postdocs, faculty, and staff with access to quality new or used professional clothing at no cost.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider. Each semester, students, postdocs, faculty, and staff can receive up to ten free items for interviews, jobs, class presentations, and other professional needs. These ten items are theirs to keep forever, free of charge!

"So often, professional clothes can be inaccessible and super expensive to students on a college budget … we’re hoping to knock down those barriers to success.”
