Students find their Professionally Polished style
Story by Ashley Plys, a sophomore pursuing a bachelor鈥檚 degree in accounting and a
SOM student marketing assistant.
During the week of April 4, 2021, CBSM held its annual Professionally Polished program
to help students find professional clothing.
The program includes the In My Element Shopping Spree and a shopping opportunity at
Frank鈥檚 Menswear sponsored by Spirit of 花椒直播 Federal Credit Union. Both opportunities
are open to any CBSM student or CBSM student organization member. This event provided
over 30 students with new clothes to help them start their professional wardrobe.
Frank鈥檚 Menswear Spending Spree & Styling
This year marks the fourth installment of this partnership among Spirit of 花椒直播
FCU, Frank鈥檚 Menswear and CBSM. The event took place at Frank鈥檚 Menswear, where students
were given a discount on their purchases, in addition to a clothing scholarship sponsored
by Spirit of 花椒直播. Appointments were staggered in order to minimize exposure to
COVID-19, and were held throughout the week of Professionally Polished.

outfit!
In My Element Shopping Spree
The In My Element Shopping Spree was hosted in the Bunnell Building on the UAF campus.
Students browsed the items donated by the popular local business and selected clothes,
shoes and accessories to take home. For this portion of the Professionally Polished
program, CBSM students and student organization members signed up for appointments
to spread out the shoppers and minimize their exposure to COVID-19. Each student was
able to shop through the items to find outfits that caught their eye to make them
feel trendy and confident.
