the GSC invites you to join the 115th Annual Hudson Relays, set to take place on April 26, 10am-1pm at the Case Quad (in front of Adelbert Hall)! The Hudson Relays stands as a testament to CWRU's rich history, dating back to 1910, when it marked the relocation of our campus to the vibrant University Circle area. Today, it remains a cherished event eagerly anticipated by students and alumni alike. It’s an incredible opportunity to showcase our class spirit and contribute to this long-standing tradition.
To represent the move, the race among classes is 26 miles long, the distance from Hudson, OH, (where the former campus was located) to University Circle. Each runner runs 0.5-mile legs, passing the baton to the next runner. If you want to join but are worried about running speed, don't be--the graduate students team is more about having fun and finishing the race!
The grad students team is still recruiting runners and volunteers for the race. As a runner or volunteer, you’ll receive a Hudson Relays T-shirt, water bottle, small breakfast, and lunch! Imagine the pride of seeing “CWRU Grads” engraved on the rock outside Adelbert Hall this year!
Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to represent our class and make lasting memories. Please fill out this form to sign up as a runner or volunteer.

Jane Austen's Bookshelf presented by Rebecca Romney
Kelvin Smith Library is joining a worldwide celebration of Jane Austen’s 250th Birthday! Rebecca Romney, author, and rare book dealer, will present based on her recently-released book "Jane Austen's Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector's Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend." In this book, Rebecca explores the lives and works of Austen’s favorite women writers, how they faded into obscurity, and deserve to be recognized. KSL also features a special exhibit to accompany the event, showcasing 18th and 19th-century books and manuscripts from the library’s extensive rare book collection. Attendees will see early editions and other significant works from her theoretical library– what would likely have appeared on Jane Austen’s bookshelf.

Stand Up With Us Demonstration
CWRU's newly-founded chapter of Stand Up for Science invites you to join the Stand Up with Us demonstration, on April 21, 2025, from 11am-1pm on Freiberger Field, to demonstrate the opposition of CWRU's faculty, staff, and students to funding cuts federal funding cuts threaten university research at an existential level. This demonstration also aims to call on university administrations (both at CWRU and elsewhere) to stand with us in our opposition.
In addition to gathering with signs and chants, there will also be a letter-writing action, in which attendees can write to their congressional representatives about the details of their research, why it is important, and how funding cuts are negatively affecting them. We will provide paper, postcards, and writing surfaces, as well as templates with letter outline suggestions.
