CASECS Mission Statement

The Center for Academic Support in Engineering and Computer Science (CASECS) is designed to support students during their first two years of college as Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) majors. The program aims to provide a sense of connection to their college, to build community among their peers and to assist student engagement in successful academic strategies that help them persist to graduation. CASECS serves students who are first in their family to attend and/or graduate from college, who are committed to their academic success, and interested in exploring the programs and services ECS has to offer in support of their success. The CASECS program will enhance the academic experience and help students discover their full potential as they work toward degree completion.
