As part of the affiliation, MetroHealth will continue to make available space for Case Western Reserve education and research activities carried out by those who hold appointments at both Case Western Reserve and MetroHealth. All 450 MetroHealth physicians are faculty at Case Western Reserve, and provide teaching for more than 40 percent of its medical students. Read more.
Richard Baznik Reflects on 40 Years at Case Western Reserve, Love of Photography
Richard Baznik has more to celebrate than his 40-year milestone on the Case Western Reserve University campus. Often seen around campus with his camera in hand, recently the photographer had his images exhibited as part of a thesis project, "Pavement Memoirs," by Gary Rozanc at the University of Arizona's Museum of Art.
The project with Baznik's photographs was one of 14 installations by 14 MFA candidates who participated in the thesis show.
"This was my first museum exhibition," said Baznik, who is currently writing the campus history as director of the Institute for the Study of the University in Society. Since 2004, he has run the "Campus Markings" contest, offered three times a year to encourage people to explore the campus environment. Read more.
