JCPenney has partnered with the career service center at the University of Rhode Island for a college Suit Up event designed to help students dress for success and jump start their careers.

This private event will take place from 6-9 p.m. at the JCPenney in Warwick Mall on Sunday, Oct. 7 to accommodate hundreds of students looking for advice on what to wear for job interviews. Faculty, staff and alumni from the University of Rhode Island, along with members of the JCPenney team, will be on hand to offer insights into the latest career fashion trends, how a suit should fit, what size to buy, how to tie a tie and more.

JCPenney will offer a special 40 percent discount to all University of Rhode Island students with a valid ID during this event. Through this substantial discount, men can easily purchase a Stafford suit jacket and pants, shirts, ties, belts and shoes for under $200. Women can buy a Worthington suit jacket, skirt, shirt and shoes for under $100.

Students will also have a chance to receive a free mini makeover at Sephora Inside JCPenney. Additionally, the JCPenney Portrait Studio will offer University of Rhode Island students the chance to have their business headshots taken with packages starting as low as $29.99.
