In the meantime, we’re inviting you to engage in a new series, highlighting books and ideas that have shaped, inspired, and challenged our thinking as we reimagined ourselves. Over the next seven months, we’ll highlight one book each month through quotes that resonated with our team.

Last week we held our Woodhill-Buckeye CNI Working Group meeting at the Mandel School at CWRU! Midway through the initiative, we have been reflecting on the governance structure and any changes we want to make for the next phase.
