Hynes finished her career undefeated in dual meets while establishing pool records at schools throughout the east coast.  Hynes stood out in the classroom as well as she collected College Swimming Coaches Association of America Scholar All-America accolades and was a three-time Philadelphia Inquirer Women's Swimming & Diving Academic Performer of the Year as well as a three-time Academic All-District honoree.  Currently, Kate Hynes is in her fifth and final year at Drexel University.  She has completed all four years of her NCAA eligibility, and now works to tutor other student athletes and volunteer coaches with former coach May.  After she earns her degree at Drexel, she plans to attend law school in the fall of 2010.

Leadership is not a modern-day concept.  Strong individuals have always shaped the history of humanity.  By looking into the past, and specifically studying the leaders who have shaped some of the greatest civilizations to have ever existed, we can identify the traits necessary to help any organization reach the height of its potential.  After a guided tour of the museum, the group will engage in a discussion about the development of human civilization, and how particular organizational styles proved to be more effective during certain time periods.  Participants will be asked to identify a single leader highlighted within the museum, and present one unique characteristic of that person that enabled him/her to be successful as a leader.   Due to the nature of this CEO event, space is limited.  Advance registration is required - to RSVP, please email Jason at clarke@drexel.edu.
