Suit-A-Bull

Suit-A-Bull is a free professional clothing resource for USF students. Students can find attire for career fairs, interviews, and workplace meetings/events when professional clothing is required. Browse and try on clothing and take up to 4 items to take home to keep (limit 1 suit). Suit-A-Bull is in the Student Services Building in room SVC 2060, just down the hall from the Center for Career & Professional Development. All items are donated from the community and visually evaluated for imperfections.
