The Queer Closet, managed by the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, is a donation-based resource offering free clothing to Ringling students, staff, and faculty.
We accept gently used, undamaged clothing from the Ringling community and redistribute it to ensure everyone has access to appropriate attire. While our primary goal is to provide gender-affirming clothing for non-binary and trans individuals, our services are available to anyone, regardless of gender identity.
Location and Hours
The Queer Closet is located in the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, within the Student Life Suite on the 2nd Floor of the Ulla Searing Building.
Monday through Friday
8:30 am-4:30 pm
Closed on weekends
