MTT Announces
Winners
In December, the Team
announced that, starting in January, it would begin awarding $100 each
week for the best ideas on how to make the merger successful. Many good
suggestions were submitted to the Team, but now that the merger is really
going to happen, it is time for everyone to be thinking about how to make
the transition smooth and the merger the best it can be. Here are the
winners and their ideas so far. Send your ideas to merger@drexel.edu
and win an easy $100!
- Jacqueline Washington,
Administrative Secretary, Drexel University
- create a website
that is updated every week with new information, so that everyone
can follow the developments and share ideas
- Carl A. Anderson,
Coordinator of Technical Services, MCPHU Libraries
- suggesting
that the issue of "campuses" be downplayed, not only because it
was inappropriate toward the goal of having one unified university,
but also more expensive, as licenses are often granted on a per
campus basis.
- Douglas L. Chute,
Ph.D., Professor of Neuropsychology
- for a lengthy
list of ideas to help ease the integration of different departments
-- including parking, dedicated space, access issues, technological
resources, and classrooms.
- Cynthia Gifford,
RN, Nurse Practitioner, EPPI
- for her idea
to connect individual employees at MCPHU with individual employees
at Drexel on a kind of informational "buddy system"
- Edward Longazel,
Chief Compliance Officer, MCPHU
- to fix up the
flagpole on the top of the Bellet Building (15th and Race Streets)
so it is ready on July 1 to fly the Drexel Dragon!
- Jean Dorman,
Director, Student Life Services, Center City
Hahnemann Campus
- to create a
communication link on the Health Sciences Web
site for prospective students to make sure their Frequently
Asked Questions were addressed.
- Loni Philip,Mathematics
’03
- proposing “a
festival with food, pamphlets, mini Q & A sessions, quizzes
for the students to see if they really know what is going on, prizes
and, of course, Mario the Dragon.”
- Suzanne Rocheleau,
Director of Special Projects, Office of Research and Graduate Studies
- What’s
Happening At Drexel Today button on the Drexel Web site, providing
a single coordinated information site about current campus events
on all campuses, so we don’t have to rely on last-minute e-mails
from the Provost, etc.
- Steven
J.Peitzman,MD,Medical College of Pennsylvania Hospital
- For the idea
that led to “In the Tradition of Woman Medical College of
Pennsylvania and Hahnemann Medical College” appearing on DUCOM’s
stationery and publications.
- Nathan Heckman,
Civil Engineering, ’03
- a series of
information/Q&A sessions, an “Open Forum” format,
that would allow students and faculty at various sites around the
University to get together and ask questions.
- Patrick G. Bradley
(Business Administration ’02) and Melissa Miller (Chemical Engineering
’06 )
- once this whole
transition has taken place, Drexel should provide shuttles for lunch
or dinner one day where Drexel students can meet Hahnemann students
to bridge the gap and visit the different campuses.
- Amie Elaine
Feliccitti, Executive Secretary, Family Medicine
- for a “genogram”
of DUCOM showing its evolution from WMC and HMC through AUHS and
MCPHU to DUCOM, and lots of ideas for t-shirts and pajama sets for
the College of Medicine.
