Graduating Senior Experience Program

At this stage in your academic career, you are ready to take on the world. This is the capstone of your residential experience. Through your experiences at Case you have learned to make connections and evolve both academically and socially. It's time to make a transition again, however, this time the transition is out of the Case community and into society. It's time to take what you have learned to the next step - whether that step is towards a university graduate program or a job. Developmental programming in this phase focuses on reflections, transitions, connections and celebrations.

We can help prepare you for job interviews and arm you with other life skills you can use to successfully transition from university life to your life after Case.

Here are just some examples of the many exciting and beneficial developmental programs you will have the opportunity to participate in throughout the academic year.

• Residential College Alumni Receptions: Reunite with fellow members of your residential college and share your experiences with first year students who are just learning about the university.
• Senior Social "Countdown to Graduation:" Gather with your fellow seniors and celebrate your final year at Case.
• Required Capstone: A class that culminates your efforts during your four years at Case in your particular discipline. Concludes at the end of the academic year with a presentation related to your focus of study.
• Focus on the Future Series: A series of seminars geared toward arming you with the skills you need when you leave the university environment - managing finances, budgeting and purchasing a car.
• Professional Interviews: You can participate in programs that will help you prepare for professional interviews and guide you through the resume writing process.
