CWRU President Eric Kaler and wife Karen, African American Alumni Association President Brian Webster, Associate Director of Alumni Affinity Programs Malik Murray, and many administrators, staff, alumni, family, and friends were in the house on the evening of October 11, 2026, when the CWRU African American Society presented its 53rd annual Ebony Ball. A celebration of Black Magic which referenced the poem by Tupac Shakur, "The Rose that Grew Through Concrete", the Ball praised the resilience of Black people and the power of community. Said Keynote Speaker Ayonna Blue Donald, "A rose can grow through concrete on its own, but a garden flourishes when it is nourished."
