Eight humanities departments within the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Georgia participated in an October clothing drive to support the efforts of the Student Government Association Clothing Closet. The SGA Clothing Closet was founded in 2019 and provides one free professional outfit per student per year, no matter their major, when supplies allow.

Staffed by Student Government members and volunteers, the SGA Clothing Closet is sourced almost entirely by clothing donations. The humanities clothing drive was organized by Christine Lasek-White, English department faculty member and the Internship and Career Coordinator for the Humanities for Franklin College. The departments of Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies, English, Germanic & Slavic Studies, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Religion, and Romance Languages participated in the effort.
