Moving to Harrisburg can be its own education with a learning curve like law school. Harrisburg is more than the capital city of our commonwealth; it will be your home for the next three to four years. Whether you are moving only an hour away from your hometown, like myself, or across the country, Harrisburg is full of connections. 

The highways are not the only connections that Harrisburg has to offer. The capital city is full of opportunities for internships and professional network building. Throughout law school, you will face opportunities to meet practicing professionals. Law school comes with a lot of questions: who should I network with, how do I meet attorneys in my desired practice area, what do I wear to interviews and networking events? 

While some of those questions may be more difficult to answer, the Phi Alpha Delta Professional Closet can answer the last question. The PAD Professional Closet, known affectionately as the PPC, is a free resource available to all students located right in the student organizations building. The PPC began as a thought over the summer and has grown into a large room full of professional clothing available to students at no cost. 

The PPC is not only stocked by members of the Widener Law Commonwealth community, but the Dauphin County Bar Association, greater legal community, and greater Harrisburg community have answered the call for donations. 

If you need to expand your legal education outside of the classroom but do not know what clothing you need for your alumni event, internship, or interview, I suggest checking out the PPC; it can help alleviate some of the financial burden of dressing professional as well as the knowing what is appropriate for networking events.
