This weekend marked a milestone for the Case Western Reserve University Class of 2029: move-in day. Hundreds of first-year and transfer students hauled suitcases, boxes, and bins into their new campus homes—greeted by orientation leaders, Spartie, and other volunteers who offered smiles, directions, and much-needed muscle.
Now, those new students are fully immersed in Discover Week—a seven-day orientation program (Aug. 17–24) to help them settle in and connect with the CWRU community.
Throughout the week, they’ll:
- Meet their orientation leaders, faculty advisors, and residence hall peers
- Explore campus resources, support services, and student organizations
- Serve and explore Cleveland through service projects and outings as part of Discover CLE.
Today (Aug. 18) at 4 p.m., the Class of 2029 will gather in Veale Convocation, Recreation and Athletic Center for University Welcome before enjoying evening events such as the New Student BBQ and CWRU Tradition on DiSanto Field.
