Ohio Northern University’s Career Closet is helping students look their best for job interviews, internships, capstone presentations, and even etiquette dinners.
The Closet is part of the Mifsud Center for Student Success, which recently moved into a newly renovated space on the second floor of the Heterick Memorial Library.
Students stop in to the Career Closet for a variety of reasons, according to Andrea Domachowski, director of the Polar Career Center.
