Trick or Treat on Fleet
The event is going to be happening on Fleet Street in the Slavic Village on October 28th or 29th. It is a community-wide trick-or-treat event sponsored by the Southeast Cleveland Resource Center. Vendors are able to set up tables for free as long as they provide candy for the children trick-or-treating.
Recently, the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences visited the Southeast Cleveland Resource Center and Slavic Village to learn more about creating change at a community level. At this visit, they learned about events that are being put on for members of the community. On October 28th or 29th, the Southeast Cleveland Resource Center will be hosting an event called Trick or Treat on Fleet. This event allows vendors to set up a tent at no cost, as long as they have candy to give out to the kids trick-or-treating. This is an event that has happened in the Slavic Village as a part of their efforts to revitalize the community and engage with neighbors. Mandel students were invited to host a table and were encouraged to reach out to other organizations who might have an interest in helping with this event. The Southeast Cleveland Resource Center is located at 52111 Fleet Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44105. Fleet Street will be shut down during this event, at which over 2000 community members are expected. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, you can contact Housing Director Meeka Compton at tcompton1120@gmail.com, t.compton@scresourcecenter.org, or 216-266-0278.

Tyler Tipton
Co-Director of Student Organizations
School of Law
Juris Doctor
Why did you join the GSC Executive Board?
I joined the GSC Executive Board because I wanted to be a voice for the graduate students here at Case. When the opening for the Director of Student Organizations opened I felt like this was the perfect way for me to be a voice for the graduate students. Student organizations are an important part of the graduate experience and I want to do everything within my power to help organizlations grow and create places of belonging and happiness on campus.
What do you hope to accomplish in your role at GSC? Are there any specific projects or changes you're excited to work on?
It is my goal to make sure the graduate student organizations have a voice at this university and that they receive support for events and outreach this year. I am excited to make the recognition process for organizations more streamlined in the hope that more organizations are able to be created to foster a greater sense of community on campus.
What are you looking forward to this academic year?
I am looking forward to gaining hands on experiences in the legal field this year. I love being able to do experiential work and interact with people on a daily basis. It will be nice to be out and about more instead of being cooped up in my room all the time!

Co-Director of Student Organizations

Why did you join the GSC Executive Board?
During our 1L year, Thomas Lipker brought me to a GA meeting, and I was impressed by the scope of GSC and its impact. I joined the GSC Executive Board because I wanted to help organizations from different schools cooperate with each other.
What do you hope to accomplish in your role at GSC? Are there any specific projects or changes you're excited to work on?
As a co-director of student organizations, I hope to aid organizations in requesting funding by making the processes accessible and clear.
What are you looking forward to this academic year?
I’m looking forward to meeting with other graduate students outside of the law school and learning about their school experience.
