On Oct. 30, the George W. Edwards Jr. Career Development Center in the Sam M. Walton College of Business hosted a professional clothing event to giveaway overstock items from the Walton College Career Closet.

The event was open to all currently enrolled University of Arkansas students, who were permitted to take two items or one suit for free. Over 75 U of A students, representing all colleges on campus, took over 150 items of business casual and professional attire from the overstock event.
