Homecoming and Reunion Weekend

October 8-11, 2026

Welcome back, alumni!

At Case Western Reserve University, we enrich lives through the transformative power of collaboration, and the university's Homecoming and Reunion Celebration embodies that spirit. The mission of CWRU homecoming is to instill pride in our community—students and alumni, faculty and staff, family and friends—through engaging activities that encourage lifelong connection. We invite you to experience all that is offered during the university’s special bicentennial year.

The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences and Dean Dexter R. Voisin look forward to welcoming you back to campus this fall!
