(Joplin, MO) – December, 2021 – Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) and the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce (JACC) are once again partnering together to collect lightly used professional clothing, accessories, and shoes for Dress to Impress. This event is designed to prepare students for their careers by helping them build a professional wardrobe.
Dress to Impress is going into its eighth year; this event is for current students enrolled at MSSU. The event has equipped over 1,300 MSSU students and alumni with professional clothing! “Dress to Impress has continued to grow on the Missouri Southern State University campus with its students every year,” shares Erin Slifka, Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce Marketing and Public Information Manager. “This event is valuable because these students are the area’s future workforce, and it’s important they show up to their first job interview feeling confident and prepared as they move into the next chapter of their life.”
