Their mission is to be a positive influence in young students' lives and encourage them to realize their full potential and avoid negative influences. The idea isn't to tutor these kids or prepare them for a test, but to encourage them to be curious about the world around them in a safe and controlled environment.

The group helps train the next generation of engineers to be facilitators of sustainable development, appropriate technology, and social and economic change.

The purpose of this group is to organize and participate in health care service opportunities, and provide Case students with unique experiences in the medical setting. To take students out of their normal "comfort zone" and provide them with formative experiences in the medical setting. To coordinate with other medically related student groups on campus to plan volunteer opportunities. To work with those students who truly enjoy volunteering and are most motivated to become health care service leaders who will learn how to give back to their individual communities.
