Gary Galbraith (CIT ’86; GRS ’88, dance)
Professor, Department of Dance
College of Arts and Sciences
Gary Galbraith has built his career at the intersection of art and innovation—reimagining what dance can be and how it can contribute to research, technology and human understanding.
For nearly three decades, his work has pushed the boundaries of choreography through emerging technologies while advancing research in dancer health and redefining how the arts can function within a research university.
A faculty member in the Department of Dance since 1999, Galbraith has a national and international reputation for pioneering work in dance and technology. His projects consistently challenge artistic and technical limits, from early experiments with networked performance to more recent explorations using holography and motion-tracking systems.

Sharona Hoffman, JD
Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law, Law-Medicine Center
School of Law
When it came to deciding the course of her career, Sharona Hoffman found herself returning to a central focus: health law.
She leaned in, becoming an internationally recognized expert in health information technology and medical privacy law and teaching on the Case Western Reserve University School of Law faculty for what’s approaching three decades.
Hoffman’s journey to this honor first took root when, armed with a bachelor’s from Wellesley College and a JD from Harvard Law School, she clerked for a federal judge and then worked for three years at a large Los Angeles law firm on cases including the Exxon Valdez oil spill case.
