Students Named Academic All-Stars by Philadelphia Inquirer
Drexel rowers Michael Gartland ’10 (MEM) and Alan Fody ’08 (CAEE) were selected to the 2008 Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Team. Michael and Alan rowed in Drexel's varsity eight boat last season. The pair were among 10 rowers selected to the squad which was chosen by the Philadelphia Area Sports Information Directors Association.

Michael rowed in the junior varsity eight boat as a freshman before moving to the three seat in Drexel's varsity eight boat in his second season. Alan is a three-year varsity eight member who rowed out of the seven seat as a senior. The pair helped the Dragons capture the Kerr Cup and a fifth-place finish in the petite final at the Dad Vail Regatta.
