From the ongoing opioid epidemic to social justice and gun violence, 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 a journalist’s first call when trying to make sense of a news story. Perhaps more substantial, CWRU researchers’ important work often creates the headlines.
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 respected online and print publications and specialty media.
Look back at some of the highlights of the Mandel School in the media—keep in mind this is just a fraction of the media mentions—from 2022. See additional media mentions here.
