CWRU Family Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, Case Western Reserve University invites students who will be on or near campus to join the CWRU Family Thanksgiving celebration Thursday, Nov. 28, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Thwing Center ballroom.

Sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of the Provost, this event will offer a space for students to enjoy a shared meal together. Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving on another day, in a different way, or simply want to connect with others on campus, this is an opportunity to experience the spirit of the season with your CWRU family.

“For students who may be far from home or need to stay on campus for their work, our Thanksgiving meal offers a chance to connect with each other, celebrate and share in the spirit of gratitude,” said Provost Joy Ward. “At Case Western Reserve, we cherish every opportunity to gather as a community and to be together. We’re proud to make CWRU a welcoming home—not just during the holidays, but all year round.”

Attendees will enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal prepared by The Jolly Scholar in a festive atmosphere. Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to attend, and are welcome to bring partners and family members to share in this meaningful experience.

“Provost Ward and I are excited to begin a new tradition with the CWRU Family Thanksgiving, and to celebrate how thankful we are to be part of the Spartan community,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Travis Apgar. “We look forward to sharing a wonderful meal and enjoying even better company with all of you.”
