Hired: Professional Clothing Boutique
UB coordinates a free professional clothing boutique, Hired, which is dedicated to providing students and recent graduates with gently used apparel, accessories, and personal care items that will help them achieve their career development goals.
Hired will also be a space for students of all genders, including students who may be in transition, to obtain clothing in a safe and welcoming setting.
Hired's inventory is supplied through generous donations by community members, and has a wide array of high-quality, contemporary items. Students may try on as many items as they wish and take home one complete outfit per semester.
