Annual Case Programs
Created by New Student and Parent Programs, these fun events range from dances to comedians and concerts, and are an opportunity for the entire Case community to come together prior to the start of classes. Student groups such as Undergraduate Student Government (USG), University Program Board (UPB), Residence Hall Association (RHA), Interfraternity Congress (IFC), and Panhellenic Council participate by bringing entertainment that welcomes both new and current students back to campus.

Snow Ball Semi-Formal
This all-campus formal dance takes place each February around Valentine’s Day and features food, dancing, and a fashion show featuring Case students dressed in everything from formalwear to "Case wear" and everything in between.

The Hudson Relays has been a fixture on campus each spring for nearly a century. The race dates back to 1910 when students at Adelbert College — declaring "this race is not in the normal course of mankind" — decided on a relay race to commemorate the school's 1882 move to Cleveland. The 26-mile route extended from the campus of Western Reserve Academy in Hudson to the large rocks in front of Adelbert Hall. Teams representing the undergraduate classes completed half-mile legs.
Due to heavy traffic along the traditional route, the race became a 26-mile relay in 1990 and is now run on a closed course around University Circle. The race still ends at Adelbert Hall and the winning class year is always carved into one of the rocks as part of the ongoing tradition.
Hudson Relays is April 24, 2010!
Springfest, which occurs the last Saturday of the spring semester, is a student-planned event that celebrates Case and fosters campus unity.
