They must mean 23% in Cleveland proper (or metro) because 39% stayed in Northeast Ohio if one crunches the numbers.
May 5, 20187 yr How did you get the 39% figure? I thought maybe I missed something, so I went back and read it again, but the only figure I could see was 122/523. The 220 that stayed in Ohio would be 42%, but that's the entire state.
May 5, 20187 yr If only Cleveland had an Ohio State or Pitt in town, as other regional big-cities have - and could keep 23% of that graduating class local! CWRU is well-respected, but small. Cleveland - and really, NEO - simply lacks that sizeable, major university that helps feed so many citites' local populations with grads year after year - and can't develop one overnight... A city like Indianapolis also lacks a major university - but an hour each way are Indiana and Purdue - without another major Indiana city to compete for the talent... Can't say the same for 3-C Ohio...
May 5, 20187 yr ^Kent State is one county away and has a student population of over 40,000. Cleveland State is nearing 20,000. There have to be bigger issues at play regarding keeping talent. Growing the talent pool is critical and I think Cleveland State is a big part of that. But Case's numbers are heartening since those grads will no doubt be working in eds and meds locally.
May 5, 20187 yr ^^ I think Cleveland State is wildly underappreciated. It's improvement in the last ten years has been huge. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake

May 5, 20187 yr Thanks, I missed that 88% figure. My initial thought was that I was surprised how many people stayed in Ohio but not Cleveland, but that figure makes much more sense.

A city like Indianapolis also lacks a major university - but an hour each way are Indiana and Purdue - without another major Indiana city to compete for the talent... Can't say the same for 3-C Ohio... Not sure if people realize this, but CWRU is the largest private university in the state of Ohio. And its economic impact is defintely magnified with its affiliation with Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and the biotech industry. From a quick unscientific comparison to a similar metro of Pittsburgh, Cleveland is surprisingly not that far away off sheer numbers of college students. Yes there is a big difference between Pitt vs CSU, but where Pittsburgh shines is having an additional large university in Duquesne. Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh 28,649 Carnegie Mellon University 12,569 Duquesne University 10,364 Robert Morris University 4,783 Point Park University 3,827 Chatham University 2,300 TOTAL = 62,492 But if you count within approx 1 hour drive: Indiana University of Pennsylvania 15,379 California University of Pennsylvania 8,608 Slippery Rock University 8,559 GRAND TOTAL = 95,038 (note: this number is a little larger when you add up the smaller schools under 2000 within an hour) Cleveland: Cleveland State University 17,260 Case Western Reserve University 11,340 Baldwin Wallace University 3,979 John Carroll University 3,709 Oberlin College 2,978 Notre Dame College 2,100 TOTAL = 41,366 But if you count within approx one hour drive: Kent State University 29,477 University of Akron 23,962 Walsh University 2,500 GRAND TOTAL = 97,305
May 5, 20187 yr I would say that some of these comparisons miss a critical factor. It is not just the size of the university but 1. if it is residential, 2. if it is a traditional college (i.e., direct from high school four year program), and 3. if it draws from outside the region. Residential helps because students live nearby and can support retail, traditional college helps because students are more willing to travel to live in that city vs a mid-career professional, and national draws help because it introduces new people to the region. I would say that CSU is not there yet on these three points (but is moving in the right direction).
May 6, 20187 yr Pitt wants people to stop calling it Pitt, but they'll take that any day over "Pittsburgh State."
May 6, 20187 yr Pitt wants people to stop calling it Pitt ... They're not going to win that one. I agree the "State" label is not a plus; it might be better than University of Ohio at Cleveland, however. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake

June 13, 20187 yr Tallying NIH grants by institution or city seems surprisingly tricky. I think in part this is due to recipients hacing multiple institutional affiliations, or recipient teams being spread around multiple institutions. Also, the Clinic's Lerner College of Medicine is technically part of Case, so if you lump all of Case's grants together, the NIH website shows something like $148M. But the NIH shows no grants to the Clinic outside of the Lerner College of Medicine, so who knows how this counting really works. https://report.nih.gov/award/index.cfm?ot=&fy=2018&state=OH&ic=&fm=&orgid=&distr=&rfa=&pid=#tab2
June 13, 20187 yr ^ Yes, it's mushy, but the the Clinic shows $108 million from the NIH and the NIH shows something like $60 million to the Lerner. I do know the Clinic also gets significant grants from the Natl. Inst. of Science (Institute of Medicine), DoD, and VA. And probably Agriculture, which even has its own Foreign Service corps. Here in DC there is a thriving and costly consulting business in helping schools and institutions wade through the federal grant process. I think it's intended to be confusing. Edi: National *Academy* of Sciences. Note the plural; gotta do the plural in DC. That place on Euclid should be renamed the Cleveland Clinics. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake

And earlier this week, the community did just that—with unprecedented support. A total of 2,609 individuals donated to the university during this year’s Day of Giving, giving a total of $1.55 million—a 43 percent increase in donors and 237 percent increase in dollars over the 2017 event. Compared to the inaugural installment of the Day of Giving just six years ago, this year there were 228 percent more donors and 693 percent more money raised.

July 9, 20186 yr Nice! More federal money coming into University Circle and the creation of a new research center. A win-win: U.S. Department of Energy awards $10.75 million to establish Energy Frontier Research Center at Case Western Reserve University The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded Case Western Reserve University $10.75 million over four years to establish a research center to explore “Breakthrough Electrolytes for Energy Storage” (BEES)— with the intent of identifying new battery chemistries with the potential to provide large, long-lasting energy storage solutions for buildings or the power grid. “We hope to come up with the next generation of electrolytes that could be incorporated into new, large-scale batteries—and those batteries could store energy more efficiently, more reliably, more cost effectively and more safely,” said Robert Savinell, Distinguished University Professor at Case Western Reserve, who will lead the DOE’s new Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC). http://thedaily.case.edu/breakthrough-energy-storage/

The university announced in a news release that under a Tipping Points grant from the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research, the team — led by Darcy Freedman, an associate professor of population and quantitative health sciences at the med school — will conduct a study called "Modeling the Future of Food in Your Neighborhood" that will examine several key food-system strategies. "These include efforts such as supermarket expansion, healthy-eating social marketing campaigns, and emergency food assistance programs," the school said in the release. The goal is to develop strategies to sequence, integrate and tailor these efforts to achieve maximum community benefit. In addition to the Case contingent, the team includes researchers from Ohio State University, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and "a dozen community stakeholders with expertise in community-based food systems, community and economic development, food security, health equity and neighborhood action," according to the release. http://www.crainscleveland.com/health-care/case-western-reserve-receives-936000-grant-study-ways-improve-food-systems-cleveland

September 19, 20186 yr jeremyck01[/member] it depends. There’s a grassroots approach to alums they expect to give $10-10,000. To alums with a higher net worth, the leverage is typically recognition, though some choose to remain anonymous.
