Career Closet
Need a suit for the fair? The Texas A&M Career Closet lends professional attire to current Texas A&M students, with suits for men and women (skirt or pant options). It’s run by student volunteers, and no appointment is needed.
Before the fair, the Career Closet sets up a pop-up in the ConocoPhillips Atrium, steps from the engineering buildings, so you can find an outfit without a trip to the MSC.

- Pop-up hours

How borrowing works
The Career Closet’s standard checkout policy. Suits are donated, so some sizes may be limited; arrive early for the best selection.
Drop in
No reservation needed. Help is first come, first served, and the closet fits no more than two people at a time.
Try on and check out
Women: skirts and blazers in sizes 2–22W, pants 2–18.
Men: pants 30x30–38x32, jackets 36S–52L.
Wear it for one week
Checkout lasts one week, including dry cleaning. Need longer? Email operations.tamucareercloset@gmail.com before checkout with the subject “Extended Check-Out: (Name)”, your UIN, and the reason.
Clean and return
Take the suit to Park Cleaners (314 George Bush Dr.) with the $5 voucher you get at checkout, then return it with the receipt to MSC L428 during open hours.
Good to know: you’re responsible for up to $100 if a suit is lost or badly damaged, and not returning it can place holds on your HireAggies and Student Business Services accounts. The closet is volunteer-run and generally open during the fall and spring semesters; check its website for current dates.
Getting there
Legends Event Center is off campus in Bryan. The free shuttle is the fastest option — rideshare is not recommended because of surge pricing during fair hours.
Free bus shuttle (recommended)
Charter buses run continuously between Wisenbaker Engineering Building (Zachry) and Legends Event Center on both in-person days.
- Every 7–10 minutes
- 7:30 AM – 6:30 PM, Sep 9–10
Student parking
About 1,000–1,200 spaces at and near Legends Event Center. Staff will direct you to open lots: Legends Event Center, D-Bat, TopGolf, Travis Fields, and Schulman’s Movie Bowl Grille.
Some D-Bat and TopGolf spots are reserved. Shuttles also run from lots farther from the venue.
Company search & booth map
Plan who you want to meet before you arrive. Search attending companies on HireAggies, check booth assignments, and study the Legends Event Center floor plan.
Professional headshots
Complimentary professional headshots are taken during the fair at Legends Event Center (West End). Photos are available to download about 10 days after the fair and remain available through November 16.
