The R’Professional Career Closet is open in the Bear's Den

The Career Center and ASUCR have joined forces to offer professional wear to students through the R’Professional Career Closet.  The R’Professional Career Closet was designed to provide students with the tools to prepare for the workforce through creating access to professional attire for interviews, career fairs, and/or networking events. Our goal is to prepare UCR students to be competitive as they transition from education to employment by eliminating any and all barriers. Come visit the R’Professional Career Closet located in the Bear’s Den (HUB 105) during our open hours.

The R’Professional Career Closet will reopen for the Winter quarter on January 9, 2023 in the Bear’s Den.

Winter 2023 Hours

Mondays, 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM 
Tuesdays, 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM 
Wednesdays, 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM 
Thursdays, 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM 


How it Works

R'Professional Career Closet is available to current UCR students during the academic year. Students can select up to 3 items per quarter (or one outfit). These items come of no charge to students when they present their student ID during their visit. The R’Professional Career Closet team is there to help you tie a tie, coordinate an outfit, or help shop!
