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

This private event will take place at the JCPenney in Meridian Mall after the store closes this Sunday, Sept. 9, to accommodate hundreds of students looking for advice on what to wear for job interviews. Faculty, staff and alumni from the Michigan State University, 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.
