With new projects underway, and exciting 2023 awaits

Groundbreaking research has been a pillar of the Case School of Engineering since the beginning. In 2022, we saw a record number of our faculty receive impressive grants and awards that exemplify the transformative ideas that come to life here as they work to uncover solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems. Each year we continue to advance, and I expect 2023 will be no different.

A big investment in science and engineering, at last.

The last new building to rise on Case Quad, Nord Hall, opened nearly 25 years ago. Before Nord, you have to go back to 1969 and the dedication of Crawford Hall to recall a towering investment in science and engineering at Case Western Reserve.

Case talent can be a marvel to see 

We customarily tape an interview with our alumni award winners and
create a short film to introduce them at Homecoming. They get to talk
about themselves, with prompting, and we all get to know them better.

To Autumn, our favorite time of the year 

The fall issue of Case Alumnus always marks an exciting time. The new academic year is upon us and we enjoy welcoming faculty and students back to campus. It also means that in a few short weeks, as the weather cools and the leaves change on the newly renovated Quad, some of you will make your way back to University Circle to celebrate homecoming.

Tom Kicher left a big space

One day about two years ago, I called Tom Kicher’s mobile phone and
reached him in his car. I wanted to talk with him about a story he was
writing for Case Alumnus.

A spring made finer by our remarkable graduates

The academic year follows a rhythm counter to that of the natural world. Just as the earth begins to
reawaken each spring, the school begins to slow down and we prepare to say goodbye. Thus, spring is always somewhat bittersweet in my mind – joy at new beginnings tempered with a bit of wistfulness as another academic year goes by.

The road not taken

Karl Zender ’59, PhD, started his career with a degree in physics from Case and ended as a professor emeritus of English. How did that happen?
