Interview Suit Initiative: Heather Karns, Assistant Dean of Career Services & Alumni Affairs for the College of Law shares that the Interview Suit Initiative started by member, Jane McQuade, has been a wonderful success. Jane and her husband, The Hon. Richard McQuade, donated gift certificates so that a male and a female law student could purchase a new suit in time for their job interviews. Individuals may also donate gently used suits and professional attire for women. The Eberly Center for Women accepts these clothing items. Just drop them off during their business hours (8:30 a.m.—5:00 p.m. weekdays). What a wonderful way to assist a student get a jump-start on her career.
