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.
We cannot accept items which show signs of wear (i.e. cuffs, shoulders and collars) or have stains. Please remember our students need to make a good first impression. Wearing stained or visibly worn clothing to an interview is not appropriate.
Hours of operation:
Monday: 10AM - 4PM
Tuesday: 10AM - 4PM
Friday: 1 - 5PM
NOTE: Please be advised that due to a surge in appointment requests, our booking schedule is now extending 1-2 weeks beyond the usual timeframe. We kindly ask for your patience as we work to respond to these appointments promptly. Thank you for your understanding!
We are actively accepting donations. Items must be clean, stain-free, professional, in excellent condition and have been purchased within the past 10 years.
