The world—and Northeast Ohio—are rapidly changing. To thrive in the 21st century, our region needs leaders who are collaborative, innovative, technologically savvy, adaptable and committed to a more equitable and just world. At CSU, we imagine a Northeast Ohio with vibrant and dynamic downtowns, collaborative and innovative public services, environmentally sustainable and prosperous industries, and equitable economic opportunity for those who call the region home.

Through a generous gift from KeyBank, CSU has been given an opportunity to develop leaders who can make this vision a reality. Building on Beth E. Mooney’s legacy as a leader who transformed not only financial services but the role women can play in that field, we are privileged to ignite the power to transform in our students and community of lifelong learners. As a highly regarded urban, public research institution serving a diverse student body that is primarily from and that largely stays in and contributes to Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, CSU is the perfect home for a higher education center focused on developing leaders who transform the region's industries, organizations, communities and lives for the better. ?

Our goal is to develop a world-class center that supports CSU in developing transformative leaders through its core curriculum; courses, certificates and degrees; experiential learning opportunities; customized continuing education; and research and scholarship. More information on our programs and events will be added soon. Please check back frequently!

The power to transform exists in all of us; it merely needs to be ignited. Contact us to learn more about how we can support you, wherever you are on your leadership journey.
