Thank you for your interest in the 2023 CASE Summer Institutes. CASE's flagship training program is for early-career professionals, mid-career transitioners, and those new to advancement to give them the foundation to further their careers and impact their institutions.

Sometimes it is not up to you to decide if you can register. Aside from financial considerations, professional development training could conflict with your work responsibilities.

The tips and sample justification letter below are intended to help you justify to your supervisor why you should register.

 

Tips to Help Make the CASE

  1. Emphasize the specific topics and skills you would like to strengthen or develop. Connect the projects you are working on and areas you are trying to develop with specific presentations. If you have participated in a CASE educational event before, highlight how the program benefited your work.
  2. Point out that registration includes access to all CASE Summer Institutes—Alumni Relations, Advancement Services, Educational Fundraising and Marketing and Communications—giving you the opportunity to learn about other disciplines. Connect the projects you are working on and areas you are trying to develop with specific presentations in those Institutes.
  3. Highlight that small advisory group participation will offer individualized attention and provide a career network to reach to out pre and post institute.
  4. Offer to take detailed notes and prepare and deliver a short presentation for colleagues. That way others in your organization will benefit from your participation.

 

Copy, paste, and customize this sample justification letter to give to your manager to make the CASE to attend.
