CWRU’s campus provides so much for our students, faculty, and staff and has no shortage of relaxing green spaces to study, work, or just unwind and relax. The CWRU Student and Faculty/Staff Wellness teams have partnered to create a scavenger hunt to show off our favorite spaces to relax and decompress around campus. During the last two weeks of September, follow our list to visit parts of campus you may have never been to before. The more spots you visit, the more chances you will have to win a prize – and we hope that you’ll #FindYourSpace here on campus!

Scavenger Hunt starts September 19th and runs through September 30th.
