|
What advice do you have for students on how to have a successful college experience? |
|
The first piece of advice is for students to use their resources. There are so many individuals and offices
dedicated to student success — seek out these individuals/offices to assist you in making the most out of your
college experience. The second piece of advice is for students to get involved! Research shows that students
that get involved at college are more successful and are more satisfied with their college experience. The final
piece of advice is for students to be themselves — share your talents, your skills and let everyone see what makes
you unique! |

What do you like about Case/Cleveland? |
Case is a great research institution that has a lot of heart. The longer that I'm at Case, the more that I realize
that so many people are committed to making Case a great place for our university community, the Cleveland community
and our world. It's an exciting time to be at Case as we continue to build upon the student experience through many
new campus initiatives and projects. It's also an exciting time, in that, we will make history when our first female
president begins in July.
Cleveland is a great mid-size city with a lot to offer everyone. I love the many cultures that are represented
within the area as well as the many great restaurants, the shopping experiences, the MetroParks and most
importantly, the people. There's something for everyone in Cleveland and it's a great surprise for those that
visit for the first time. |
