"I truly cherish my time studying and interning at the Center. Through events like The Retail Fuse and Lunch and Learn, I gained valuable industry insights and connections from the experts. Looking back, I wouldn't hesitate to get involved even more—every conversation offers something meaningful, so take initiative, build relationships, and enjoy the experience here at the Center!" 

 - Jen Bui, 2026 graduate. 

“The Center had a lasting impact on my college experience. It equipped me with skills that I use in my everyday life and introduced me to concepts that have been valuable throughout my career. What made the biggest difference, though, was the community. Being surrounded by motivated classmates and dedicated faculty inspired me to push myself, continue learning, and grow both personally and professionally. I highly encourage current students to get involved in the Center and take advantage of all it has to offer!”

"The TJLC has been a phenomenal resource! Through the Pop-Ups With Purpose internship, I got the opportunity to learn firsthand about the components it takes to run a retail store. Now, I'm going to assist the next group of interns as the supervisor for the TJLC's brand new Campus Closet location. I absolutely recommend joining this internship if you get the chance to apply!"
