During the past few decades, Â鶹ÊÓƵ has gone from an academic, athletic and economic driver in Northeast Ohio to a thought-starter, fierce competitor and innovation leader at the national and international levels. Research and programmatic additions to the university – like the Brain Health Research Institute and the Design Innovation Initiative – have elevated our reputation and cemented our place on the world stage. We have an opportunity to keep evolving and to change the way people think, learn, compete and teach.
