Free Food & Lunches!
Sign up for Alumni Weekend and get FREE FOOD & LUNCHES! Alumni weekend is coming up October 4-6 (Thurs-Sat). While this weekend is a chance for old classmates to catch up, it is also an opportunity for us to show our alumni how great we are, and for that reason we will need LOTS of volunteers from ALL CLASSES. This weekend is a great chance to meet alumni and hook yourself up with a research position, shadowing opportunity or maybe even a residency contact. If that’s not enough incentive there will also be tons of really good free food. Sign up sheets and a schedule of events will be posted soon. If you have any questions contact Asvin Ganapathi at axg126@case.edu.
