Dear First_Name,

o m a i n f o r m a t i o n

OMA’s Flavorite of the Week

Let’s kick this off properly,

Greetings to the entire student population of CWRU; from the fresh eyed First Years to the Grinders in Grad School. This is Steve from OMA, and one fun fact about me, is that I am a foodie! I love delicious vittles from the time the sun rises until late in the evening, so I figured, why not give you a place every week to try, right here in the city of Cleveland.

Our foraging faction will begin its journey on Euclid Ave, heading toward the northside of campus. The proper noun is Midtown, but it’s more like a playground, with art, activities food and culture all around.

Without hesitation, I would like to recommend CAPO’s (Boss of The Cheesesteaks) as our first destination! Combining Flavors from Philadelphia & Chicago, 2 great sandwich states and settling right here in Cleveland. This Black-owned Midwestern sandwich shop does a fine job of creating great tasting grub at an affordable price! Whether you like a nice light veggie or an original steak, you can’t go wrong with Capo’s on your plate.

My favorite is Original Cheesesteak but let me know what you try, and the next time I stop by I will order it and let you know how it went.

DM OMA on IG if there is food nearby
that's reasonably priced that I should try.
I’ll chew and review it, because I cannot wait to share,
all the treats I love to eat, so all of Case can compare.

Happy Sampling!

CWRU & Acronyms

If you haven't noticed yet, CWRU loves acronyms, especially when it comes to student clubs/organizations. [There's even a guide to CWRU lingo!] We don't want you to have to guess what group is hosting an event. So we thought we'd start the semester off with a couple weeks where we list both the acronyms and the whole name in parentheses afterwards.
Soon you'll become more familiar with MECA as the Middle Eastern Cultural Asociation, ASA as the African Student Association, and JSU as the Jewish Student Union. For now, at the start of each month, we'll help refresh and inform.

Get a Job w/Help from the Career Center!

It’s going to take some time & work to get a job – especially a job that you’re skilled at and will enjoy. Unfortunately, employers won’t just call you and make the offer. You need to do your homework ahead of time. Don’t wait until you’re a senior, start NOW.

You plan ahead – that’s part of why you’re here at CWRU. Now apply those skills to getting a job and/or internship. Break the inertia and start making goals of how you will move forward. Work towards the next Career fair, but also work past it to really prepare!

The Career Center has LOTS of tools to help - including knowledgeable staff. But they cannot do the work for you. You need to contact them and ask.

You are welcome to come to any one-on-one career advising sessions. To schedule with us, follow easy step by step directions.

[five] Career Interest Area

Your Career interest area is an affinity group where like-minded students, professionals and experts work together to pursue their passions. Each career interest area has a career consultant in The Career Center dedicated to connecting you with top companies and industry-specific knowledge.

Career Lab is a way to receive quick career guidance regarding resumes and cover letters, preliminary interview preparation, and how to access/use career-related online information at the My Career portal.

Fall Career Fair

Thurs, Sept 26, 10am-2pm
The Career Fair is an on-campus event for current students and alumni of Case Western Reserve University. CWRU 2024 Fall in-person Career Fair will be held in the Veale Athletic and Convocation Center Field House. This event is an opportunity for students to meet with recruiters for hiring opportunities. If you are looking for a summer 2025 opportunity- this is the time you want to meet with recruiters and apply for those positions!

Employers will be recruiting students of all majors for all kinds of opportunities, including internships, co-ops, practicum, and/or 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.
