Career Counseling
In an increasingly competitive professional market, more students than ever before are utilizing the Career Center for assessment services, career counseling, and internship and practicum opportunities in order to successfully transition to a fulfilling career.
Student Activities & Leadership
Case Western Reserve empowers students to take ownership of their university experience by supporting student programs, traditions, initiatives, and leadership development through innovative initiatives like the Emerging Leaders Program—the only leadership program geared specifically for first-year students.
Civic Engagement & Learning
The university also supports support service opportunities that promote active learning and address community needs. Through the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning, students seeking community-based capstone projects and service learning coursework, work-study and paid placements in the community, students are encouraged to broaden their educational experience and serve those in need.
Academic Support
Case Western Reserve provides valuable academic resources to help students achieve their fullest potential, including SAGES tutors and supplemental instruction.
