About the Warhawk Success Closet & Warhawk Food Pantry

Career Services runs the Warhawk Success Closet, a resource filled with professional attire and solely sourced from donations.  Students may take items for FREE to keep for interviews, attending career & internship fairs, or to use as work attire for jobs or internships.  The Warhawk Success Closet is open year round, and students can stop by McCutchan Hall Room 226 Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm to browse the racks to pick out what they need.

The Warhawk Food Pantry was established in 2018 to provide a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for students and others to obtain food, toiletries, school supplies, and information about other resources available to them.  The pantry is located in Drumlin Dining Hall Room 143 (entrance 2 next to the loading dock). Fall 2024 hours are listed here. 

Thank you for your generosity to help UW-Whitewater students!
