Rowan College at Gloucester County (RCGC) and Brooks Brothers are holding the third annual Suit A Student Career Readiness Fashion Show performance next week.
On Thursday, April 11, nine students will walk the red carpet to receive fashion advice and business etiquette tips from Brookes Brother’s salespeople to get ready for the career world.
Clothing and accessories are individually selected for each student based on their career choices and lifestyle.
This year’s fashion show will also feature an American Association of Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) member, one of the fundraising event’s main sponsors, and a student selected by one of the College’s Business Advisory Boards.
