The Mandel School offers a variety of events for our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members.
Our admissions team also holds events for prospective students; our field education department hosts trainings for community partners; and our Center for Evidence-Based Practices, Trauma Center and Community Innovation Network host research and training events.
Are you planning an event? Please consider reviewing major religious holidays and observances prior to scheduling your event. An easy way to see these holidays in your CWRU Google calendar is to: Click on the gear icon in the top right of your calendar > Settings > Add calendar dropdown > Browse calendars of interest > click the checkboxes of interest. Adding all global religious holidays to your calendar will give you awareness for scheduling and for honoring the holidays of your coworkers. Once added and out of your settings, you can check/uncheck the holiday calendars in the bottom left under Other calendars to view them.
Please also be sure to reference the school's event calendar and the university's events listings when planning your events.
