MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Jessica Brynes

Welcome to the Center for Advising & Student Engagement (CASE) in the College of Engineering & Computer Science!

At CASE, we’re here to support you throughout your academic journey - from your very first semester to graduation and beyond. Our team of dedicated academic advisors and student services professionals is committed to helping you succeed through proactive advising, personalized support, and meaningful engagement opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.

Our mission is to partner with you as you explore, plan, and achieve your goals. We’re here to help you navigate your path with purpose and confidence, offering guidance to promote academic success, personal growth, and professional readiness. Whether you need help selecting courses, exploring career options, or finding ways to get involved on campus, CASE is your go-to resource.

We offer a wide range of services, including:

  • Individualized advising and degree program planning
  • Career counseling and support for internships and co-ops
  • Leadership development and peer advising programs
  • Scholarship and research opportunities

We strongly encourage students to seek experiences outside the classroom - internships, co-ops, research, leadership roles - so you’re not only prepared for the workforce but positioned to thrive in it. Many of our students go on to work at companies like NASA, Lockheed Martin, Modernizing Medicine, Facebook, Hazen, and more.

With so many exciting things happening across the college, now is the perfect time to get connected. Schedule an appointment, attend an event, stop by and say hello - we’re here for you.

On behalf of the entire CASE team, welcome. We’re excited to be part of your story.

Warmly,
Jessica Brynes
Director, Center for Advising & Student Engagement
