Annual Report 2023-2024
Thank you
To the Case Western Reserve community,
In the past year, the progress we have made on advancing our three priorities—to elevate academic excellence, expand our research enterprise and enhance our engagement with the community—has been, in a word, outstanding.
Our research enterprise saw growth across several key metrics. We also enjoyed a record year of philanthropy, as friends and alumni supported us with more than $210 million in gifts and pledges. Importantly, we continue to attract top-notch students, faculty and staff who strive toward excellence every day and who are driven to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.
I feel tremendous privilege to lead this innovative community of learners, educators, collaborators and visionaries. We have much to be proud of and to celebrate, especially as we look ahead to commemorating our bicentennial in 2026.
Thank you for your continued support of Case Western Reserve University. Our future grows brighter each day.
Eric W. Kaler
