Confidence Closet – pop-up event

Students! Looking for just the right outfit to nail that job interview but store prices are out of reach? The BU Confidence Closet might be the perfect fit.

A collaboration between the BU Co-op Program and the Faculty of Education Field Experience Office, the BU Confidence Closet is a pop-up shopping experience where the price is right — free. Carefully curated clothing items have been donated to provide you with access to professional attire in a welcoming, low-barrier environment while promoting reuse and responsible consumption. At our last Confidence Closet event, students found hundreds of professional clothing items, each carefully chosen to support upcoming interviews, work terms, field experiences, and professional opportunities.

Beyond immediate access, the Confidence Closet emphasizes sustainability by extending the life of quality clothing and encouraging thoughtful selection. Students are asked to be guided by the principle ‘take what you need and wear what you take,’ reinforcing both confidence and environmental responsibility.

The Confidence Closet reflects Brandon University’s ongoing commitment to student success, sustainability, and collaboration, and demonstrates how small, intentional initiatives can create meaningful impact.
