From Campus Vision to City Transformation Our approach to OneCleveland has been informed by a mission to be a big, bold 21st-century community-oriented project that delivers advanced information technology capabilities to achieve community priorities for economic development, learning, job training, research support, preeminence and distinction The Challenge Our goals are: To become the best university neighbor any city has ever had. To be a major contributor to the vitality of our inner city. To be a catalytic agent for overcoming the digital divide.

To take the incredible scientific and medical breakthroughs for which we are known all around the world and -- right in Cleveland – show how working together we can develop a model for a healthy Cleveland.
