Annual Report 2022-2023
Thank you
To the Case Western Reserve community,
The data in this Year in Review are like snapshots in a photo album—there’s a story behind each picture. Every data point in this report reflects the day-to-day hard work of faculty, staff and students who are committed to elevating academic excellence, expanding our research enterprise, and enhancing our engagement with the broader community. I’m grateful for the dedication of this extraordinary campus community to do and to be better, despite the many challenges we face in today’s world.
This is an exciting time to be at Case Western Reserve University. Our financial health is strong. We just posted our second-highest fundraising year ever. Annual research expenditures are climbing. Importantly, our campus is inclusive and diverse.
We are proud of the work we do and the data driving the university’s upward trajectory. Each year, our story grows more compelling. We appreciate that you’re a part of it.
Eric W. Kaler
President
At Case Western Reserve University,
data helps drive what we do.
It allows us to understand how to teach our students more effectively. It guides our innovative research, which can lead to life-changing (or even life-saving) breakthroughs. And it inspires us to do more—and do better—to improve outcomes for our students, faculty, staff, alumni and larger community.
