About
Clothing Swaps, hosted by OwlSwap, are a chance for KSU students to trade gently used clothing for new-to-you wardrobe additions! The next Clothing Swap will be hosted on - November 14th from 11am - 3pm in the Carmichael Student Center, University Room B.
Volunteers are needed to help with event set-up starting at 9:30am, check-in, check-out, and other event logistics. Consider signing up for one of the shifts!
Set up for the event will start in the Kennesaw OwlSwap closet (130 Willingham Hall) at 9:30AM. The event is located at 395 Cobb Ave, Kennesaw, GA 30144. Clean up will start at 3PM and will involved bringing the items back to the Kennesaw OwlSwap closet.
OwlSwap Closet is a resource that provides all KSU students, faculty, and staff with free access to professional attire for academic and employment opportunities as well as everyday clothing. Not only does it give everyone a chance to acquire new-to-you clothing, but it also encourages sustainable consumption.
The closet is made possible thanks to the generous support and donations from the KSU community. Along with the OwlSwap closet, we also provide professional wardrobe support Dress for Success Program. With our partnership with Career Planning, we help students become more prepared for work environments.
