On April 15, Florida A&M University partnered with JCPenney for its second Suit-Up event designed to help prepare students, new alumni and community members for career success.

The first historically black college or university (HBCU) to do so, FAMU has partnered with JCPenney to provide special services that help individuals access the essentials they need to prepare for job interviews. The program offers large discounts on career dress apparel, makeovers, salon services, and opportunities to explore careers with the JCPenney Corporation.

Hundreds of students, alumni and community members were served during the event.
