APSU College of Business suiting up for second event with JCPenney
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. 鈥 This September, the Austin Peay State University College of Business will host its second Suit-Up event in partnership with JCPenney at Governors Square Mall. The partnership allows all APSU students and their families to purchase professional clothing at deep discounts.
鈥淲e are excited to continue this partnership for a second year,鈥 Dave Dessauer, College of Business career coach, said. 鈥淚n the College of Business and across the APSU campus, we strive to ensure our students are career-ready and recognize that it requires support on multiple levels. Sometimes it means adding services, sometimes it means reducing barriers. The Suit-Up event does both by providing all members of the student community and their families access to attire that is affordable and professional.鈥
Suit-Up will take place on Sept. 18 at Governors Square Mall from 3 p.m. 鈥 6 p.m. Students and their family members are eligible to receive up to 50 percent off select career wear, shoes and accessories when they use the 30 percent off coupon provided by the College of Business during check-in. Students should RSVP using PeayLink at .
