More than 350 FAMU students attended the JCPenney Suit Up Spring 2022, a prelude to the two-day spring Career & Internship Expo that began on Wednesday.
Organizers offered students $3,600 worth of gift cards to cover the cost of suits and other apparel as they prepared for full-time jobs or internship interviews on Wednesday and Thursday.
“We had an awesome turnout of 362 students,” said Career & Professional Development Center Director Bill H. Means, Ed.D., who expressed thanks for the support of the University’s Senior Leadership for donating gift cards
President Larry Robinson, Ph.D., who along with the Senior Leadership Team members donated gift cards to students, lauded Means, his staff and volunteers for the impressive way they organized the event.
“It was a pleasure to contribute and witness the students’ excitement and genuine appreciation,” Robinson said. “The digital process for selecting gift card recipients was innovative indeed.”
