Bruin Closet

• Business casual and professional clothing
• Clean casual attire appropriate for class or work
• Trade-specific wear (e.g., scrubs, safety vests, work pants)
• Outerwear (e.g., jackets, coats, sweaters)
• Footwear (e.g., dress shoes, clean sneakers, work boots)
• Accessories (e.g., ties, belts, handbages, scarves)
• Brand new socks (when available)

Note: Availability varies and is first-come, first-served. We recommend visiting early in the semester or before major events.
Tip: If you’d feel confident wearing it to class, work, or a community event—it likely belongs in the Bruin Closet.

Who Can Use It?

• Students, staff, and faculty may take up to 10 items per semester
• Community members may use the closet as inventory allows
• No appointment needed—just stop by during open hours

We aim to serve as many people as possible. If inventory is low, we may prioritize students and limit community access temporarily.
