Touchdown! Another Season of Spartan Spirit
Last year, the Spartan varsity football team made Case history with a phenomenal undefeated regular season that progressed to the second round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
This year, the team is continuing on its path to greatness with a current record of 9-0. With the last game of their regular season taking place today, the team is working hard in an effort to bring home another win for Case.

Brotherly bonds
Many Case students find time to volunteer despite all their other obligations and commitments. Senior Gian Genovesi is a defensive lineman on the Spartan varsity football team, but also participates in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cleveland. Steven, Gian’s “little brother” is an eighth-grader in the area who also plays football for his school.
Case’s Center for Civic Engagement and Learning is a great resource for students looking to get involved in the community. Besides Big Brothers Big Sisters, students participate in projects such as building with Habitat for Humanity, volunteering at the Foodbank and tutoring students of all ages.
Check out the local video news coverage of Gian and Steven here.

Campus Visit Tips: Case Lingo
Whether you are taking a campus tour, sitting down for a one-on-one interview or staying overnight before one of our Open Houses, no one wants to feel out of place. To make your visit more comfortable, here are some common terms and abbreviations you’ll hear being thrown around by Case students, staff and faculty.
Thwing: Pronouncing the silent H in Thwing is the number one sign of a campus newcomer—it’s pronounced “twing”. The building functions as the student union. Inside you’ll find the bookstore, The Jolly Scholar bar and grill, lots of meeting rooms and the offices of student groups such as Undergraduate Student Government, The Observer student-run newspaper and University Program Board.
Leutner: One of the two dining halls on campus, located close to first-year residence halls. Permanent food stations in Leutner include the Grill (burgers and fries), Classics (home-cooked comfort food), Global (stir-fry prepared to order on a large flattop grill), Jalapeño (burritos and nachos) and more.
KSL: Kelvin Smith Library, the central library on campus. Open 24/7, KSL becomes a popular hangout spot the week leading up to midterms and finals.
The Village: The on-campus luxury place to live for juniors and seniors. These apartment-style residence halls have air conditioning, double beds, private baths and full kitchens.
Greenie: The free university shuttle service that circles campus and some surrounding areas. According to legend, the mini-buses were once green, and the name stuck. The shuttles were later painted, but for some reason “bluey” has yet to catch on.
