DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - Millikin University plans to help provide students with free professional clothing as part of an upcoming event.

Dress to Impress is organized by the school's Center for Academic and Professional Performance, Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society, Tabor Student Advisory Council and the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization. It is scheduled to take place from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 16 at the Oberhelman Center for Leadership Performance, which is on the first floor of Millikin's University Commons. 

The idea is to make sure all Millikin students have access to quality business attire they can wear for interviews, internships and their careers beyond college. Clothing has been donated by Millikin and Decatur community members. 

All clothing will be cleaned for new owners as part of a partnership with Waite's Dry Cleaners. 

The university will have alumni, faculty and employees from The Brass Horn to give professional dress advice to students. They can help students put together an outfit they can take with them at no charge. 

In addition, Millikin's Center for Academic and Professional Performance set up a career closet in the University Commons that will have business attire for students throughout the academic year. All remaining donations after Dress to Impress will be available through the closet.
