Day of Remembrance
Each year, CWRU lights a part of campus to remember community members or their loved ones who have passed away. Students, faculty and staff can submit names to be read during the ceremony.
Light the Campus ceremony will be held in-person on Monday, March 3rd at 5:00pm on the KSL Oval (rain location Thwing Atrium).
