Rocky’s Closet

Rocky’s Closet is an initiative to help students who are in need of professional clothing. They say “dress for the job you want” but that’s not easy if you don’t have the proper attire and can’t afford to buy it. At Rocky’s Closet, you can simply make an appointment and and leave with a whole new professional wardrobe!

Please Note: We do not accept walk-ins.
