opportunities include:

Local Chapter Involvement: The University continues to grow its alumni chapters around the country and around the world. Alumni volunteers, whether serving as chapter leaders or assisting with specific tasks or events, are the life blood to our regional programming. We are seeking volunteers to participate at the chapter level in event planning, recruitment of additional local alumni, participation in programming, and assuming leadership roles. For those in the Cleveland-area, the University holds dozens of events on and around campus which would warmly welcome the participation of more alumni. Some of these events include the Career Experience mixers with students, wine tastings on campus, orientation for new students, the Exchanging Horizons networking event, the Homecoming parade, SpringFest and dining with CWRU campus leaders and faculty.

Alumni Career Network: The Alumni Career Network is composed of Case Western Reserve alumni from a wide variety of professions. Volunteers provide CWRU students and fellow alumni with career advice, industries/industry trends, and relocation tips. After a student or alumnus has expressed interested in connecting with someone with your expertise and/or area of interest, you will be put in touch with each other. They may be looking for industry advice, information about your company, or the story of your career path. The perspective of a fellow CWRU community member is always a welcome connection.

Alumni Admission Program (AAP):  This program serves as an avenue to directly impact our alma mater by assisting in the recruitment and retention efforts of the University. Through the AAP, alumni volunteers develop relationships with prospective students by sharing their CWRU experiences and elaborating on the University’s impact on their lives. Events are held in several dozen cities around the country to generate higher applicant quality and volume. If you're interested in the Alumni Admission Program, please contact The Alumni Association at 800.866.6280 or email alumnirelations@cwru.edu.

Other Opportunities in Support of Students:
Case offers a variety of opportunities for alumni to get involved with students. In addition to recruitment and career assistance, you can interact with students through a variety of campus offices including, Greek Life, the Office of Student Community Service, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs. In addition, there are many active programs run by your school or association. Many of these are volunteer-driven and may include networking, mentoring, and event planning.
