Graduate Student Appreciation Week is April 6th - 10th. The Office of Graduate Student Life and other campus partners are finding ways to virtually show appreciation to all of CWRU's graduate students including raffles, daily trivia, a scavenger hunt, and more. Stay tuned for more information or follow along here!

2020 Census

The U.S. Census Bureau has released information specifically about students and how university remote learning affects their participation in the census. You can read about it here:

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2020/modifying-2020-operations-for-counting-college-students.html

The short version is that college students should answer the census for where they would normally or regularly have been living on April 1. For CWRU students, that means being enumerated as if they were in their student housing, off-campus or on-campus. 

For off-campus students, that's getting counted at an apartment or residence where they were expecting to be living on April 1, by answering the census invitation. Log on to the census website.
