A recent donation by TRSA operator member Cintas Corp., Mason, OH, will help Oklahoma State University (OSU) business students as they prepare for job interviews and internships during their college careers. Cintas’ Tulsa location donated 684 pieces of professional clothing, including sport coats, shirts, pants, skirts, blouses and accessories for use by OSU students, according to a news release.

The donation, valued at more than $45,000, enables the “Career Closet,” which is hosted by the Eastin Center for Career Readiness in the OSU Spears School of Business, to help students dress professionally.

“The donation that Cintas provided was a very generous gift that will enable some of our students who may not have the resources for whatever reason to acquire the professional clothing necessary to feel confident for career fairs and interviews,” said Abbey Davis, director of the Eastin Center.

The Cintas’ donation adds a significant amount of inventory to the Career Closet, which enables students to look and feel confident when they walk into a job interview. The donation not only provides OSU business students with clothing needs but also provides accessories, such as belts, pocket squares, etc., that will help complete the outfit.

“Cintas has been a proud supporter of OSU for over 20 years, specifically through recruiting OSU students for our management trainee and internship programs,” said Holly Fisher, Cintas’ regional HR director. “When we heard of OSU’s need for clothing donations for their Career Closet we thought it was a perfect match for Cintas.”
