Thank you to everyone who attended the DLR!

DLR  Make-Up Policy: 
If you miss one without excusal given prior, you have the opportunity to make it up by volunteering within the community. 

  • Two representatives will have to volunteer and send in documentation/photos stating that they have done some sort of volunteering that UDC exec has approved, so we can excuse the absence. 

Only one absence can be excused through volunteering. After that, there are financial consequences. Failure to communicate with UDC Exec about an absence or seek an excusal, including after the event, will result in the applicable financial consequences.

DLR Make-up Attendance is due November 4th, 11:59 PM.
See the document linked below for more details.

This year is very special for us. We've expanded from one to FOUR participating correctional institutions (Grafton, Lorain, Northeast, and Trumbull), and we've also had the pleasure of collaborating with talented CWRU student and community curators.

The opening reception is free and open to the public. While it is not required, we encourage you to register so we know how many guests to expect. Full details are on the attached flyer. The show will be on view until January 15, 2027.

Campus & Student Safety Grant

The Campus & Student Safety Grant is intended to support CWRU-sanctioned student organizations with identified safety or security needs, with priority given to organizations that are at increased risk of violent crime, terror attacks, hate crimes, or harassment.

 

Applicants should be able to identify a specific safety concern, threat, risk, or vulnerability affecting their organization, members, activities, events, or affiliated community and explain how the proposed project will mitigate that risk or improve student safety.

 

Simply being a CWRU-sanctioned student organization does not, by itself, establish a need for grant funding. Funding decisions will prioritize proposals that demonstrate an identified safety or security need and a clear connection between that need and the proposed project.

 

This prioritization closely reflects CWRU's Award Agreement, which requires the University's process to prioritize security needs from institutionally sanctioned student organizations at increased risk for violent crime, terror attacks, hate crimes, or harassment. ODHE's guidance similarly states that institutions are expected to prioritize organizations demonstrating increased threats in these areas.

 

Ready to Apply?

Organizations should be prepared to answer three fundamental questions:

  1. What is the safety or security risk?
  2. Why does it affect your organization or affiliated community?
  3. How will your proposed project reduce that risk or improve student safety?

 

If your organization can clearly answer these questions, we encourage you to apply.

Complete the Campus & Student Safety Grant Application through Campus Groups.
 

APPLY NOW 

Before submitting, applicants should discuss the proposal with their organization's leadership and faculty/staff advisor and ensure that the proposed budget and project scope are complete and realistic.

 

Questions regarding the grant application or whether a proposed project, program, equipment, resource, or expense may qualify for funding may be directed to the CWRU Division of Public Safety, publicsafety@case.edu.
