Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) moved to remote course delivery March 18, in addition to campus restrictions pertaining to on-campus meetings, gatherings, and conferences. CWRU has also transitioned every possible university function to remote operation to protect the health of the campus community during this rapidly expanding outbreak. For Fall 2020, the university has established a return-to-campus process to maintain the health and safety of the campus community while advancing the university’s academic mission.

The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) is continuing to establish virtual meetings where possible and maintain a current calendar of events as meetings across our partner institutions are postponed, canceled, or made available virtually.
