Career Center Partners With Macy’s to Offer UK Community Professional Attire
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 23, 2021) — In partnership with Macy’s, the University of Kentucky's Stuckert Career Center is offering the Virtual Spring 2021 Wildcat Style event.
All UK students, alumni, employees, and parents and families are welcome to attend the event during the week of Friday, April 23, through Sunday, May 2, 2021.
UK community members and families will have the opportunity to receive up to 30% off on professional attire (ie. suits, shoes, briefcases/ purses, accessories, and much more) and 15% off on grooming/beauty products for both men and women of select Macy's merchandise.
Attendees will have the option to shop virtually or may visit Macy's in the Fayette Mall to utilize the Wildcat Style discount code.
“We understand that building a professional wardrobe can be expensive and somewhat difficult to manage on a student or a household budget,” said Ray Clere, director of the Stuckert Career Center. “The Wildcat Style event is intended to provide an opportunity for students, alumni, employees, and their families to find professional attire and accessories at a discounted cost.”
Students and alumni with a Handshake account must register on Handshake at: https://uky.joinhandshake.com/events/732604.
Employees, alumni and/or parents and family without a Handshake account MUST register through this link to receive the discount coupon: https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ekQq379SahyVvAq.
The quick registration forms will help the Stuckert Career Center distribute the coupon and track event attendance. Once registered, individuals will receive an email on April 23, 2021, or shortly after their registration date, with event details and the UK Wildcat Style discount code.
Additionally, thanks to the generous support from the UK Student Government Association, a limited number of individual financial grants will be made available for students to support participation in the Wildcat Style event. UK students who register for the Wildcat Style event will receive individual consideration for grant eligibility on a first-come, first-served basis.
