The MPH Program is happy to announce that they have formed a collaboration with the Ohio State University College of Public Health to host a CWRU/OSU Case Competition in conjunction with National Public Health Week 2021. Teams of students from CWRU and OSU will compete to develop the best and most innovative public health solutions to an identified problem. The purpose of this case is to provide recommendations to mitigate and prevent the spread of COVID-19 among staff and those incarcerated in Ohio’s jails. The partnering organization is the ACLU of Ohio. The Case Competition will be held on Wednesday, April 7th.

What is a Case Competition?

A Case Competition brings teams of students together to develop solutions to an identified issue. The winning team is selected based on the merits (based on defined criteria and as judged by relevant experts) of their solutions.

How does this Case Competition work?

Teams from CWRU and teams from OSU will compete in a preliminary case competition. The winner from each school will then face one another in the final round of the competition. Community partners representing relevant organizations and expertise will serve as judges. There is a cash prize for the winning team!
