May 12, 200916 yr From Cisco, but still interesting news being on the cutting edge or...err, test bed: http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/case-western-reserve-university-to-turn-campus-facilities-into-smart-buildings,817764.shtml Case Western Reserve University to Turn Campus Facilities Into Smart Buildings Posted : Fri, 08 May 2009 20:00:25 GMT SAN JOSE, CA -- 05/08/09 -- Case Western Reserve University will be one of the first higher education institutions in the country to transform its campus facilities into an integrated smart building infrastructure implementing and utilizing the newest generation of advanced networking technology from Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. Technology affects every aspect of the way people live, learn, play, and work. However, in many cases today's building environments have not evolved to fully support these changing lifestyles. In addition, key trends are driving the need for building transformation -- trends such as the drive for environmental and social responsibility, cost controls, and a new generation of research tools and sensors coming out of university and industry labs. Campus leadership and researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Cisco are taking steps to transform the physical spaces of the future through technology innovation, delivering value-added real-time monitoring and building operations. With Cisco executives, Case Western Reserve launched the new Connected Real Estate project during the university's annual summit on technology and collaboration known as CollabTech, this week on the Case Western Reserve campus. The university will pilot the new technology solutions in its Frank O. Gehry-designed Peter B. Lewis Building, its world-class biomedical Wolstein Research Building and one of its largest campus residence halls, known as Pierce Hall. "Case Western Reserve University is a perfect test-bed for these new smart building technologies," said John Wheeler, senior vice president for Administration at Case Western Reserve University. "We have over one hundred buildings constructed over one hundred and fifty years which produce hundreds of daily challenges for facilities specialists across the campus. Cisco has been a long standing and trusted technology solutions partner at Case Western Reserve. We are excited to explore how we can take advantage of our investments to provide smarter, more economical and better spaces for our research, teaching and learning, and residential communities." "Connected Real Estate is about changing the way buildings, campuses, communities, and cities are designed, built and managed in the most efficient and economical fashion while maintaining environmental responsibility. Collaborating with thought leaders such as the Case Western Reserve University is another example of Cisco's commitment to create 'smart communities' which take advantage of the network as the platform," said Thierry Martens, vice president, Cisco Worldwide Connected Real Estate practice.

June 15, 200915 yr http://blog.case.edu/case-news/2009/06/08/kochgift (with VIDEO) Case Western Reserve University Receives $5 Million from Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Charles "Bud" Koch Charles "Bud" Koch, chair of Case Western Reserve University Board of Trustees, and his wife, Katie, have made a $5 million commitment to the university. Their gift will support a capital project to enhance the student and campus experience. This commitment is a legacy gift that acknowledges the Koch family's multi-generational relationship with Case Western Reserve University. Koch's father, Charles Joseph Koch, Sr., was a 1941 graduate of the Case Institute of Technology. The senior Koch was appointed CEO of Charter One Bank by his father in the mid-1960s and appointed his son, Bud, to the position in 1988. Koch, Sr. died in 2001. Bud and Katie Koch's two sons, Charles Brian and John P., each earned M.B.A. degrees from the Weatherhead School of Management. "Case Western Reserve has been a centerpiece of our family's lives for decades," Bud Koch said. "This gift gives us an opportunity to honor the Koch family legacy at the university, to celebrate this great institution, and support an even more engaging educational experience for the future." A member of the Case Western Reserve Board of Trustees since 1999, Bud Koch began his term as chairman on October 18, 2008, succeeding Frank N. Linsalata. "Bud and Katie's generosity is reflective of their overall support of the university," said Barbara R. Snyder, president of Case Western Reserve University. "Bud has already distinguished himself as a strong leader committed to helping the university realize the ambitious goals of our strategic plan, Forward Thinking." Koch was chairman, president and chief executive officer of Charter One Financial, Inc. prior to its sale to The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). Koch also is a member of the board of Citizens Financial Group and is a director of Assurant, a specialty insurance provider. In addition, Koch serves as a director and former chairman of the Federal Home and Loan bank of Cincinnati. Koch is also the immediate past chairman and a member of the board of trustees at John Carroll University and serves on the boards of a number of Cleveland organizations. The Bratenahl residents have long been supporters of university-wide initiatives at Case Western Reserve. In November 2007, they were honored by the Hattie Larlham Foundation with the Rudolph H. Garfield Circle of Caring Award for their 25 years of service to the organization.

The five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health will enable the Midwest Regional Center for Excellence in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases to pursue new or better treatment, diagnosis and prevention strategies for diseases such as anthrax, plague and dengue fever, according to a press release. "The continued NIH support is a vote of confidence in the significant accomplishments of the MRCE," center chief Samuel Stanley, vice chancellor for research at Washington University, said in the release. "The research being conducted in our Midwest center could have a very real impact on security in this region." Participants in the center -- one of 11 operating or planned around the country -- are Washington University, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, the Cleveland Clinic/Lerner Research Institute, the University of Iowa, Saint Louis University, Kansas State University, Iowa State University, the Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, Mo., and the University of Missouri-Columbia. The research emphasis is "on understanding innate immunity, a type of built-in protection against certain microbial assaults," according to the release, along with studying infections caused by smallpox and related viruses and the West Nile virus. Researchers have also sought to improve vaccine safety, identify new viruses and study the body's potential to fight off a variety of pathogens (Washington University release, June 24).

March 26, 201015 yr Case Western Reserve University kicks off project to bring ultra high-speed Internet access to thousands of nearby homes CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Case Western Reserve University on Thursday kicked off a project that aims to bring free ultra high-speed Internet access to thousands of homes in or near University Circle. The project is an experiment that aims to find out how local communities can benefit from access to Internet speeds about 250 times faster than the average speed currently found in the United States. To start, about 100 households in the Hessler Road neighborhood near CWRU will be offered the service in May. The area has been dubbed the "Case Connection Zone", and residents there will be asked to participation in a series of surveys. The surveys will measure how they use the lightening fast connections as well as a range of software applications designed to take advantage of the connection speed, said Lev Gonick, chief information officer at CWRU and coordinator of the project.Participation in the project will be voluntary, but Gonick said he doesn't anticipate having any trouble getting people to sign up. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2010/03/case_western_reserve_universit.html

This project supports the foundation's goals to improve education for health professionals in the interest of public health and to reflect changes in the healthcare system. "This grant works toward changing the culture of healthcare. In addition to providing services, student doctors and nurses will experience how people think and function in their different roles as health professionals and learn to work as a team," said Daniel Ornt, vice dean for education and academic affairs at the School of Medicine. http://blog.case.edu/case-news/2010/06/24/ilead

In 1977, the Electrical Engineering department at Case was 11th in the nation, Chemical Engineering 4th, Biomedical Engineering 1st or 2nd, Medical School 10th, nursing school 4th, etc. etc. The University has a long way to climb back

Now they've fallen to 9th. Honestly, though, I think they did that to themselves without the faltering of the CSE. That place was a bureaucratic nightmare for the four years I was an undergrad, hence I left the department. Essentially, the student population exploded, and they couldn't adjust.
August 23, 201014 yr Whatever this is worth CWRU was ranked #17 in the nation by the Washington Monthly. The categories used in the rankings were: Social Mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), Research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and Service (encouraging students to give something back to their country): http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings_2010/national_university_rank.php Maybe CWRU is getting more notice nationwide?
