Opportunities

Cougar Closet Clothing Drive Ends May 13

The Academic Success & Career Center is hosting a Cougar Closet Clothing Drive.

The Cougar Closet is a WSU student resource that provides access to free, gently used professional clothing. Earlier this spring, we had a line of students eager to use the Cougar Closet in preparation for the Spring Career Expo and related events. If you have professional clothing (slacks, button-down shirts, blouses, ties, suits, etc.) you are planning to donate, please consider donating to the Cougar Closet. Male/men’s clothing options are most in need after this season, but we take all professional dress, from heels to 2-piece suits.

You can drop off donations at one of three locations:

  • The ASCC, Lighty Student Services, room 180
  • Drop-box in the Carson Center, Todd 101
  • Drop-box at Dana Hall 138

Helping Students in Distress Guide

Faculty and staff are often able to recognize when a student is struggling, but it can be hard to know what to say or do. State and federal laws and University policies mandate reporting in some situations. You can reference this guide when you’re concerned about a student. Each WSU location has a guide with specific campus and community resources.
