Post-Graduate Planning and Experiential Education will host the 2023 Career, Education and Inspiration Expo Friday, March 3, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Veale Convocation, Recreation and Athletic Center.
This on-campus event gives Case Western Reserve University students and alumni the chance to meet with recruiters for hiring opportunities and admission representatives from graduate and professional school programs. The event will also feature on-campus engagement and experiential learning opportunities.
Employers will recruit students of all majors for opportunities, including internships, co-ops, practicums and full-time jobs. Employers typically send CWRU alumni as representatives, so this is a great networking opportunity, even if you’re not in the market for a position. Register for the 2023 Career, Education and Inspiration Expo.

Research Opportunities
Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, Undergraduate Research Opportunity in Renewable Energy
NSF REU Site in Marine Renewable Energy (2020-2023)
Florida Atlantic University is hosting an intensive summer research program focused on science and engineering challenges related to the environmentally friendly creation of electricity from marine renewable energy resources.
Ocean currents off the Southeast U.S. represent an untapped energy source with a technically feasible power production potential estimated at 19 GW in U.S. waters. The time average energy densities in this ocean current reach 3.3 kW/m2 off Florida's east coast, several times greater than the most energy dense wind resource in the U.S. The on-campus research will focus on three technical challenges associated with harnessing this and other marine renewable energy resources: resource assessment, system design and operation, and environmental impacts.
This paid, 10 week program focuses on training, mentoring, research and providing students with an exciting summer experience that will prepare them for graduate studies or careers in engineering and science.
