Why the Career Closet?
At the Lynx Connect Career Closet, our mission is to empower students and alumni on their professional journeys by providing access to high-quality business attire at no cost. We believe that every Lynx deserves to feel confident and prepared as they step into interviews, internships, and careers, regardless of their financial circumstances.
We remove barriers to professional success by maintaining a curated collection of donated business wear, ensuring that financial constraints never stand between talented Lynx and their career aspirations. Through our commitment to service, sustainability, and student success, we transform lives one outfit at a time.
Our work extends beyond simply providing clothing—we create a supportive community that celebrates professional growth, environmental responsibility through clothing reuse, and the power of paying it forward. Together with our donors and volunteers, we dress Lynx students and alumni for the success they deserve.

At the LynxConnect Career Closet, we're not just dressing students for success—we're helping create a more sustainable future. We're tackling the environmental impact of fast fashion while empowering our students to look and feel their best.
The Career Closet works to make sustainable fashion accessible on campus. When you donate your gently used professional clothes or choose an outfit from our collection, you're helping save thousands of liters of water and keeping textiles out of landfills. It's simple: Every piece of clothing reused means less waste in our landfills and less demand for new production.
We believe sustainable fashion starts with smart choices. By taking care of our clothes, choosing secondhand when possible, and understanding the impact of our fashion choices, we can look professional while protecting our planet. Join us in making sustainable style the standard at CU Denver.
