MEM '19 graduates Susanna Luciano and Doug Kirk worked together on a team of five CWRU graduate students in the 3rd annual Goodyear Innovation Challenge.  The objective was to explore: "Where can Goodyear play beyond tires in the future of mobility?  Case Western's Weatherhead was one of five business schools selected to participate in the event and our team placed 3rd, taking home a prize of $2,000.  Doug said the experience was very positive and it "really changed the way he looks at corporate innovation and new product/process development."
