Participate in Career Connections
Career Connections is typically held during spring break and provides CWRU first year students the opportunity to shadow alumni in the student's career and geographic area of interest. If you are interested in hosting a Career Connections student, please contact our Assistant Director for Alumni Engagement, Marcos Rivera at: marcos.rivera2@case.edu
Be Our Guest
Students consistently tell us the presence of an alum at our events and programs provides a valuable perspective. Have you considered sharing your knowledge and expertise? Most alumni choose to get involved through one or more of the following activities:
- Serve as a guest speaker on a panel.
- Lead a career workshop or presentation.
- Provide details on open positions within your organization.
Contact Marcos Rivera if you have an idea or would like to arrange a volunteer opportunity.
