ORIENTATION 2008

About New Student Orientation

The mission of New Student Orientation is to facilitate a positive transition into the Case community. Through Orientation, students will be exposed to both curricular and co-curricular opportunities and resources. Case's summer model allows us to work with smaller groups of students and to give students — and their parents — more individualized attention to facilitate a successful transition into Case.
