Hello from GSC! We hope you’re having a great and safe summer. Here are some opportunities and updates from our end, and as always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at gscinfo@case.edu

A Quick Word Regarding University Communication

As you may know, CWRU has sent out recent emails to faculty, staff, and undergraduates, seemingly omitting graduate and professional students from their list. For our population, however, communication is supposed to come from the deans of our schools—each school has unique situations that a campus-wide email cannot properly address. That’s why our school administrators, who know our needs best, are the ones who will be providing relevant information. Please understand that emails may not come at the same time as ones delivered to the undergraduates.

GSC General Assembly Meetings – Mark Your Calendars!

Open to all graduate and professional students, the GSC General Assembly meetings are the place to stay up-to-date with campus-wide affairs and meet people from all schools. This semester, all meetings will be held via Zoom on the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. starting in September.

 

Police Forum Review

On July 1st, GSC held a virtual open forum with CWRU Campus Police, Chief Hodge. As a Cleveland native, Chief Hodge shared his connections to the community and outrage about recent police violence. He stressed that the goal of campus police is to keep the CWRU community safe. To alleviate students’ safety concerns, CWRU officers will provide police escorts to the students' final destination.
