From the raging opioid epidemic to social justice and gun violence and to the trauma caused by the global pandemic, the expertise and insight of the faculty at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University were at the forefront of the stories making headlines nationally and internationally.
In what has become commonplace, our faculty members are often the first call that journalists make when trying to make sense of a news story.
University Marketing and Communications works to raise the university’s national and international profile through positive coverage of its newsworthy people, places and accomplishments in important online and print publications and specialty media.
Take a look back at some of the highlights of the Mandel School in the media from one of the most newsworthy years in recent memory:
