Fashioning your future: A celebration of achievement

U Career Success hosted its third annual Career Impact Awards and fashion show on Thursday, April 16. This event united students, staff, faculty, campus departments, and employer partners.

“This is one of my favorite events I’ve ever been a part of,” said Hannah Bowen, content marketing specialist and social media manager at U Career Success.

The U Career Success Cintas Career Closet was featured in the show, highlighting outfit options for your next interview, networking event, or career fair.

“I love that we are able to help students feel confident as they begin their career journey,” said Bowen.
