Share the Vision
The school year has begun and the campus is alive with a flurry of activities and events. Last week, as part of our Welcome Days program for first year students, I attended Case’s Share the Vision assembly. 
The program brought together Case administrators, faculty and staff as well as the entire Class of 2010. This gathering served a few roles one of which was to frame the messages from the class’s common reading for the summer—The Soul of a Chef—which was the focus of over fifteen breakout sessions immediately following the program.
The program included remarks by Dr. Eastwood, Mano Singham and Michael Symon (a local—and nationally known—chef that the book focuses upon).
Share the Vision opened with a welcome from Liz Woyczynski, director of undergraduate admission, that highlighted many aspects of our over 1000-member class.
Here are a few things she shared:
• Students hail from 41 states—from Alaska to the great state of Maine—and seven foreign lands
• Over 500 different high schools
• One student founded, in high school, a non-profit organization that collects gently used video games/consoles for donation to foster families
• A member of the class has studied and competed in bagpipes and played at community events in his hometown
• One student took an immersion trip to Russia in order to add Russian to her list of languages learned and spoken
