 The new casestarter project from the Case Alumni Association is an inspired, fresh approach to philanthropy that allows alumni to follow and fund valuable university resources and foster innovation. The crowd-funding platform is designed specifically for Case Western Reserve University engineering, math and applied sciences alumni to collectively pool donations toward specific student-centric funding opportunities at the university.
The first project supported by casestarter is to provide think[box] with six mobile 3-D printer workstations, which will allow more students direct access to this increasingly popular technology for rapid prototyping. Learn more about the mobile MakerBots, and the new casestarter initiative, now.

Dean Mitchell Signs Law School’s First Concurrent Degree Program in Madrid
 Case Western Reserve University’s School of Law has become one of the only law schools in the country to offer concurrent degrees with foreign institutions. Case Western Reserve students can now earn their JD and foreign LL.M. degrees in the same three years it takes to earn a JD.
Dean Lawrence E. Mitchell signed an agreement in Madrid on May 27 with Vice Rector Pedro Linares Llamas of Comillas Pontifical University. Similar agreements are planned with top law schools in multiple European and Asian cities, including University of Paris, Dauphine, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, and the University of Haifa.
“We educate our students to be leaders on the world stage. Providing them with the opportunity to begin their careers while in law school significantly advances this goal,” said Mitchell. Concurrent foreign degree programs are rare in American law schools. Mitchell said he was especially pleased that Case Western Reserve students will pay no additional tuition, nor spend extra time in law school, to complete this program.

Case Western Reserve and Cleveland Clinic Partner on New Medical Education Building
 Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic have agreed to collaborate on construction of a new, state-of-the-art medical education building for the two academic tracks of the university’s School of Medicine.
The partnership provides unified space for programs now housed apart—the original medical education offering on the Case Western Reserve campus, and the 11-year-old Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. The new building will be located within an 11-acre parcel bordered by Euclid and Chester Avenues and 93rd and 100th Streets.
The roughly 165,000-square-foot building will cost about $80 million. The Cleveland Clinic is providing the land for the structure and also covering all site preparation expenses. The Clinic also has agreed to match the dollars Case Western Reserve has raised for the project to date, up to $25 million.
Finally, the institutions will fundraise jointly for the project, and share costs for its construction and operation. All told, the organizations have secured commitments for the majority of the dollars required, and have made shared outreach to other potential supporters a priority in the months to come. Read more.
