Alumni Association staff will also be monitoring the homecominghelp@case.edu email throughout the weekend.

Where should I stay?
Hotels within University Circle book quickly for homecoming weekend. Please call early for the best availability. Visit Travel Services for more information and specific hotel rates.
Where should I park?
This year, parking will be pay-as-you-go; because of the variety of parking garages, metered spaces and surface lots available on campus, we have opted not to offer a parking pass this year and visitors can pay to park in the most convenient to them. Additionally, several events, like the Homecoming Alumni Awards Luncheon, offer complimentary valet. Find a detailed visitor parking map here.

What should I wear?
Attire is casual unless otherwise specified in your confirmation. We encourage packing a mix of casual spirit clothing and at least one business outfit. Don't forget—Cleveland's weather in October can be unpredictable!
What recreation options are available?
Alumni, families and friends are invited to utilize the Veale Recreation Center, gyms, locker rooms and Donnell Pool (lap swim only) during Homecoming weekend-- October 9-12-- at no additional cost if they show their Homecoming badge. Donnell Pool is located in the Veale Center right around the corner from the Veale Issue Room. Please note that we are hosting a Volleyball Tournament on Sunday so courts will be limited.
