         experiences: from lunch with a corporate CEO to behind the scenes at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, SOTC offers it all at no charge to
         our participants.
    • An alumni host connection. Each student will be paired with an alumni host who will help to orient the student to Cleveland and provide
         career advice.
    • Alumni networking. Students will interact with alumni regularly and learn the skills of networking. Community introductions will abound.
    • A summer with students from other schools. Students will have the opportunity to meet and socialize with the approximately 90 students
         participating in the program. You will be exploring a new job and a new city with dozens of new friends.
    • Assistance with securing permanent employment. Local alumni and the Summer on the Cuyahoga staff are prepared to assist you with
