Point of View
2018-2019 Annual Report
A new perspective
can change everything
An unsolvable problem suddenly gets a workable answer. A hopelessly flawed argument is fixed with a small tweak. The unattainable goal becomes a fully realized reality.
Looking from a different angle can lead to breakthroughs in research, insights in education, even empathy among people on opposing sides of an argument.
In short, it can often be core to achieving our mission as a university.
So this year, we’re taking a new perspective on some of Case Western Reserve’s most intriguing stories of 2017-2018.
That is, we’re telling—and showing—them from the participants’ point of view.
