A Message from the Dean

Welcome to the Pennoni Honors College! We are proud of the tradition of excellence Honors has contributed to Drexel since 1991, and prouder still of the community of alums and current Honors students and faculty who make the college one of the jewels in Drexel's crown. In light of its many achievements, the Pennoni Honors College at Drexel has been recognized with the National Collegiate Honors Council's 2002 Presidential Leadership Award.

 

We are growing Honors dynamically each year by adding trips to Philadelphia cultural institutions and sports events and to New York City and Washington, D.C., Distinguished Speakers, Quiz Bowl contests, Arts Nights, gala Honors formals and dinners, and Town Meetings. Students lead that growth, suggesting speakers and events, and in doing so they help to forge a thriving, intellectually curious, and sociable living- learning community.

 

Unique among Honors Colleges, the Pennoni Honors College also sponsors a range of inter-disciplinary academic programs serving both the Honors community and all Drexel students. It is deeply gratifying to lead the continuous development of the Pennoni Honors College, whose horizons are limited only by the enormous energy and imagination of its students, of the dedicated colleagues with whom I work, and of a University with the wisdom to invest its resources in those who embody excellence.

 

D.B. Jones

Interim Dean
