As a Miami University student, I’m excited by this opportunity to be able to purchase professional attire that I will use during my job search. Looking professional is one of the most important parts of a job interview!”
Growing up in a less privileged community has not only offered financial and academic challenges, but it has also allowed me to realize the true value of a college education and the resources to help me be my best."
This grant originally allowed me to purchase a suit that was used during my medical school interview. I wanted to look as professional as I could so between the Professional Attire Fund and the Suit-Up Event at JCPenney’s, I was ready to go!”
“I will wear this new suit as I begin the pathway to becoming a physician, where I will hopefully have a substantial impact on someone’s life.”
