~ Association Mission Statement


As a graduate of MSASS, you are automatically a member of the Mandel School Alumni Association. The Association has been an integral part of the School since 1931 when it was founded by Margaret Johnson, a 1919 graduate of the School of Applied Social Sciences who later became the School's first female dean.

Your active membership builds and sustains lifelong relationships; encourages learning and professional growth; celebrates the success of alumni, faculty and students and shares the excitement of the Schools accomplishments.

  • Keep professionally informed through the School's Harris Library that is available to alumni for research and information. Contact: harrisref@case.edu
  • Attend alumni events such as our Distinguished Contributor Lectures, a series of professional workshops providing continuing education credits on topics of current interest. Many of the lectures are presented by MSASS alumni.
  • Seek career counseling through the University's Career Center careercenter.case.edu
  • Receive alumni contact information about specific classes or alumni in particular geographic locations by e-mailing: msass-alumni@case.edu
