Second-Year Experience Program

Where are you going? What do you want to do? And how can we help you get there? Through programming initiatives such as career shadowing, you can explore the possibilities of your future and engage in opportunities that will help you set expectations for your remaining years at Case. Through the creation of a personal vision statement you compile with the help of your academic mentor and advisor, you will be able to bring these expectations to life.

This is the time when you have the opportunity to engage in leadership roles within the university community. Playing an active role on campus will allow you to have a hand in forming policies and programs. You can develop your leadership skills within the residence halls by becoming involved in hall council, the Residence Hall Association (RHA), Interfraternity Congress (IFC), Panhellenic Council (PHC), or becoming an RA, LA, peer helper or area office assistant.

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. Programs begin in the fall semester and continue all the way to the end of the academic year and into the summer months.

  • Second Year Institute: A two-day event that takes place during Welcome Week. Students learn more about academic opportunities by interacting with faculty to develop their leadership skills through specific teambuilding exercises.
  • Second Year Academic Excellence Seminar (ACES): This seminar offers resources about study abroad, focuses on career track skills and assists students with resume creation.
  • Experiential Learning Opportunities: Allows you to apply the knowledge you have learned to opportunities outside the university.
  • Faculty Advisor Meetings (Integrated Action Plan): Students meet with advisors to declare a major and create a plan for action.
  • "Halfway to Graduation Celebration": A celebration acknowledging that you are halfway toward your goal of graduating from Case.
