The Metropolitan State University of Denver Classroom to Career Hub and the Office of Alumni Relations have once again teamed up with JCPenney stores to help students polish their professional image.  

This year’s annual JCPenney Suit-Up Event will be held online April 9-11. MSU Denver students and alumni who register for the event will receive an email the day before it, giving them access to a discount code for an extra 30% off their professional-attire purchase.

To further defray the cost of dressing for success, there will be several opportunities before the event for Roadrunners to win $25 JCPenney gift cards. MSU Denver faculty and staff members can help reach the goal of raising $1,500 to purchase those gift cards by making a gift on the JCPenney Suit-Up Event crowdfunding page.

Join us in supporting our students and alumni as they shop for the professional attire that will imbue them with the confidence they need to take the next step in their careers. When Roadrunners are prepared for the professional world, anything is possible!
