Carlos Garcia, a Spanish major at CSUB, said, “I can’t wait for this event! I have been wanting to get my hands-on good quality suits at a discounted price.”

Students will be required to show ID in order to qualify for the 60% discount on purchases. For those who are interested in volunteering for the J.C. Penney event, volunteer registration forms are available at the CSUB website. All volunteer registration forms must be turned in by Friday, October 4th.
