Everyone lives in a watershed, and in Cleveland the largest and most important of them all is the Lake Erie watershed. Lake Erie is Northeast Ohio’s main source of drinking water and most prominent water recreation area. Our activities at home, at school, at work and throughout the community directly impact not only Lake Erie, but also all the local waterways that flow into the lake. WPC’s outreach, community involvement and educational activities encourage the public to adopt stormwater management best practices to help reduce water pollution. People were encouraged to use rain barrels and create green spaces to help reduce runoff, pick up pet waste and report illicit discharges, among other things. 2017 PIPE Program Goal: Reach at least 10% of the City of Cleveland’s population with a targeted message (reach 50% over the five‐year term). During 2017, WPC participated in more than 50 community events and distributed about 10,000 pieces of literature. On display at most events were a combined sewer model, a map showing Cleveland watersheds with locations of storm drains that flow to Lake Erie, and do‐it‐yourself painted rain barrel. Below are WPC’s 2017 public information/public education events that specifically related to stormwater control or clean water efforts. A complete list of events and programs in which WPC participated follows the chart. Each event was an opportunity to share information about WPC sewer maintenance services and its role as the City of Cleveland’s stormwater manager, and a way to educate the public about the impact stormwater runoff has on the environment, population health and safety, and the City of Cleveland’s sewer infrastructure. More importantly, PIPE helped encourage people to incorporate stormwater best management practices into their lives.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Melisa Freilino Office 216-377-1339 Cell 216-392-4528 [email protected] www.portofcleveland.com PORT OF CLEVELAND UNVEILS PLANS FOR EXPRESS OCEAN FREIGHT SERVICE TO EUROPE Cleveland-Europe Express will be the only scheduled international container service on the Great Lakes CLEVELAND, OH- The Port of Cleveland unveiled plans today to start a regularly scheduled express freight shipping service between the Cleveland Harbor and Europe, starting in April. The Cleveland-Europe Express Ocean Freight Service will be the only scheduled international container service on the Great Lakes. “Currently, local manufacturers use East Coast ports to ship goods to Europe, incurring additional rail and truck costs along the way,” said Will Friedman, president & CEO of the Port of Cleveland. “The Cleveland Europe-Express will allow local companies to ship out of their own backyards, simplifying logistics and reducing shipping costs.” The service will be the fastest and greenest route between Europe and North America’s heartland, allowing regional companies to ship their goods up to four days faster than using water, rail, and truck routes via the U.S. East Coast ports. The Cleveland-Europe Express is estimated to carry anywhere from 250,000 to 400,000 tons of cargo per year. This volume equates to approximately 10-15% of Ohio’s trade with Europe. “This service will be a game changer for manufacturers in the region, keeping shipping dollars local, while opening our shores to the global market in a new way,” Friedman said. Marc Krantz, chairman of the Port of Cleveland Board, said the organization pursued the express service to meets the Port’s strategic initiatives by growing the Port’s maritime business, increasing the Port’s financial stability, and increasing regional trade opportunities on behalf of Northeast Ohio companies.

Jacob Enders (’23), a CCLCM student lead, says the goal of UltraFest was to provide medical students with point-of-care ultrasound experiences, an emerging care paradigm involving the use of ultrasound at the bedside for rapid clinical decision-making, triaging and treatment. “This goal was achieved when an attendant at the MSK station expressed to me – almost in a moment of relief – that he now understands what the carpal tunnel is and why it’s so easy to have a pressure buildup there,” says CCLCM student co-lead Derrick Obiri-Yeboah (‘24). Having recognized the relatively restricted space of the tendons and nerve in carpel tunnel of the wrist during the scan of a model helped him understand how carpal tunnel syndrome develops.

  • Campus Master Plan
    CAMPUS MASTER PLAN CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY 1 2 MASTER PLAN UMC-3318-2_2018 A Call to Action As higher education evolves, Case Western Reserve University must adapt to remain competitive. This adaptation must include long-term, sustainable strategies for growth. Partnerships such as the collaboration with Cleveland Clinic on the Health Education Campus (HEC) and innovation investments such as the Larry Sears and Sally Zlotnick Sears think[box] will help shape CWRU’s future. This Campus Master Plan builds on the long legacy of campus planning at CWRU and helps frame the continued success of the university. For this reason, the Campus Master Plan identifies profound and resourceful ways to elevate space quality and functionality. Recommendations include a series of catalytic projects, the formation of a design review board, policy recommendations and detailed building use strategies. Implementing this plan will strengthen the university and its neighbors alike. CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY 3 The Campus Master Plan It’s fashionable to think that campuses don’t matter anymore, that digital technology and remote learning have made buildings, commons, residence halls and libraries obsolete. Not true. Campus buildings, from residence halls to stadiums and labs, and physical features such as common areas, quads and walkways, are essential to learning, collaboration and the random encounters that make higher education so valuable. That’s why Case Western Reserve creates a Campus Master Plan every 10 years. The design and use of land and buildings are too important to be allowed to develop without careful thought and planning. Though it represents the consensus best thinking about the university’s future needs and goals, the plan is not a binding document, but rather a flexible No first-year student orientation would be complete without the spelling guide for the university.
