Closet Survey
SES stands for Socioeconomic Status, an issue that Northwestern students have only recently started talking about. However, students don't realize the extent of SES disparity on campus. As a result, we are trying to create a resource for students so that socioeconomic status is less of a barrier to success and achievement. We are working to create a formalwear closet on campus for students to borrow clothes for interviews, internships, formals, date nights, and any other event that prefers formal attire. This endeavor is student-run and we are trying to make sure that appearance is not something that holds us or our peers back from anything that they want to pursue while at Northwestern. This survey is aimed at gathering data to tell us whether students would use this resource and what you would like from it to best serve your needs.
