Sooie Suit Up: Faculty and Staff Volunteers Needed
On Sunday, Sept. 9, from 6-9 p.m., the University Career Development Center, in collaboration with several student affairs and academic departments, will host the annual Sooie Suit Up with our partner JCPenney at the Northwest Arkansas Mall location. During this special event, U of A students will be able to purchase an entire men's or women's suit, including shirts/blouses, ties, belts, skirts, jackets, and shoes for up to 70 percent off! In addition, students will learn style tips for suits and career wear in preparation for upcoming job interviews and career fairs.
The Career Development Center is looking for 50 faculty and staff members to assist students in selecting professional attire during this event. Shifts are in 2-hour intervals. Only faculty and staff who sign-up to volunteer for a shift (via GivePulse) may take advantage of the up to 70 percent discount.
Faculty and staff will need their university ID to check-in at the event.
Students and volunteers may catch a shuttle to and from the event at the ARKU Bus Station from 5:30-10:30 p.m. The last shuttle from Arkansas Union Bus Station to JCPenney leaves at 8:30 p.m.
