Sooie Suit Up
On Sunday, Jan. 27, the University Career Development Center, in collaboration with several Student Affairs and academic departments, will host the biannual 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 40-70% off. In addition, students will learn style tips for suits and career wear in preparation for upcoming job interviews and career fairs. All U of A students are encouraged to attend. Faculty and staff may also take advantage of the discount before or after working a volunteer shift at the event.
Students will need their University ID to enter 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 ARKU Bus Station to JCPenney leaves at 8:30pm.
