mRi™: myRESEARCH illuminated

2008 Season

Ron Gleper (2008 Creative Learning Intern Dan Lasco) loves science! As president of the Wilburville High School Science Enthusiast Club, Ron figures he’s sure to be accepted into a Cleveland Clinic summer internship program. Unfortunately, Cleveland Clinic figures differently. Despite the rejection, Ron holds on to his dream and sets out to experience the world of science and medicine on his own.

Join Ron for five incredible adventures of discovery as he visits Cleveland Clinic to meet interns and learn more about their projects in this exciting new season of mRi™: myRESEARCH illuminated – the show that illuminates the groundbreaking research of Cleveland Clinic high school interns!

The 2008 season of mRi™ was produced by Dan Lasco (Berkshire High School) with help from fellow 2008 Creative Learning Interns Leah Backo (Trinity High School), Gabriel Firestone (Beachwood High School), and Rebecca McKinsey (Lakewood High School).
