CWRU Graduate Studies Orientation 2019

Fall Convocation is the formal celebration that opens each new academic year at Case Western Reserve University. The event includes recognition of our newest Distinguished University Professors and a keynote address from the Elaine G. Hadden Distinguished Visiting Author, Paige Williams, author of the university's 2019 common reading book.

Convocation is followed by a complimentary reception and book signing.

The event is free and open to all. Online registration requested.

Paige Williams is staff writer at The New Yorker. Her first book, The Dinosaur Artist, has been chosen as Case Western Reserve University’s 2019 common reading book. Incoming students will receive a copy this summer and will participate in related programming during their inaugural semester at the university. Each year since 2002, the university’s common reading book has served as a basis for programs and discussions for first-year students.

The Office for Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity, the President’s Advisory Council on Minorities and the Office of Multicultural Affairs will host a welcome reception for multicultural students, faculty and staff at Case Western Reserve University.

The entire CWRU community is invited to attend & help us welcome new multicultural students, staff and faculty to campus!

This reception also provides an opportunity to meet University President Barbara R. Snyder, establish new acquaintances, build relationships across campus and reconnect with friends.

Hors d’oeuvres will be served.

RSVP by August 26th on Campusgroups.

Put away laptops and phones and play old fashioned board games with friends. Refreshments will be provided to keep you fueled and competitive through the night.
