Janine Bentivegna, a frequent contributor to CWRU Magazine, took on the assignment of photographing President Hundert during his activities on inauguration day. The result is “All in a President’s Day.” Though she hadn’t met her subject before that morning, ten hours of shadowing the president allowed her an insight: “Ed is the kind of person I’d invite over for dinner.” The CWRU community impressed as well. “There was such a camaraderie that you forget about when you don’t work in an educational environment.” In the end, she was exhausted. Nevertheless, she says, “I would do it again. In a heartbeat.”

“Amid devising strategies to address potential health-related terrorism, the West Nile virus, and ongoing priorities such as AIDS, asthma, and diabetes, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Julie Gerberding twice spoke with Lois Bowers, author of “The Front Line.” “It’s obvious that this remarkable person holds fond memories of her alma mater,” says the medical school’s assistant director of public affairs, who interviewed the South Dakota native in August and February. “When I mentioned her two upcoming visits to campus, she said, ‘I’m looking forward to coming home.’”

“As a freelancer, I’ve been writing about Northeast Ohio’s business and economic development scene for the past sixteen years,” says Christopher Johnston, who wrote “The Great Venture.” “During that time, I’ve heard more promises and predictions about technology transfer than I can remember. The lack of any sustained successful efforts, however, had left me a bit skeptical. After learning firsthand about the new program at CWRU, I finally believe that something productive is going to happen in tech transfer for our region, and that Mark Coticchia’s office will be one of the key economic engines powering it.
