Fall 2025 JCPenney Suit Up Event

Date: Sunday, September 9, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Location: JCPenney (6002 Slide Road, Lubbock, TX 79414)

Texas Tech and Texas Tech Health Science Center undergraduate and graduate students are invited to this event. Please bring your TTU or TTUHSC photo id. 

Texas Tech employees and alumni are also allowed to attend this event. If you do not have a TTU photo ID, please register for this event on Hire Red Raiders. 

JCPenney is partnering with the University Career Center to provide professional clothing at a hugely discounted price. During the event, students can purchase suits, dresses, sport coats, pants, skirts, blouses, ties and shoes to build a career wardrobe.

We are hosting this private event after the JCPenney store closes so we can give personalized attention to students and help them choose the best career wear for career fairs, internships, and job interviews. Texas Tech University Career Center staff, 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, and how to tie a tie.

Donations: We are accepting donations for our Career Closet at this event. If you have any professional items of clothing, shoes, or accessories that you do not wear anymore, you may bring them to the event, and we will donate them for you! For more information about what kind of items we accept, please review our Career Closet PDF. 

JCPenney Hair Salon will be open for free consultations and Sephora will have beauty consultants available to help guide you in choosing appropriate makeup for a professional setting. Items will be available for purchase but discount codes cannot be used for the salon or Sephora.

JCP Portrait Studio will offer a discounted service for professional headshot packages. The $9.99 sitting fee will be waived and the package will be 50% off. This translates into a great deal; $25 for professional headshots! This offer will be valid for seven days after the event. You must call to make an appointment and you must show your Texas Tech photo ID when you arrive for your appointment.

If you have any questions, please email Erin Vaca or call us at (806) 742-2210.
