Dear Graduate:

I hope that your studies at Drexel have been as rewarding as they have been challenging. Now it is time to celebrate your achievements with your family, friends and professors, at Commencement 2008.

As Commencement approaches, you are undoubtedly excited for the next phase of your life: the beginning or continuation of your career, graduate studies, research, even military service. Wherever your path takes you next, you will have a competitive advantage, thanks to the combination of classroom and real-world education you have received from one of the most distinguished faculties in the nation.

Another advantage you can count on is membership in an incredibly distinguished group of professionals and scholars worldwide: Drexel alumni. You can find friends and mentors by taking part in alumni association events. You can also find opportunities to help the next generation of students following in your footsteps.

The community of our University's graduates values education greatly, and the University remains ready to serve your continuing educational needs. I encourage you to maintain your strong ties with Drexel and be active along in the life of the University.

This guide contains all the information you will need to plan for a memorable Commencement celebration. On behalf of Drexel University, congratulations and best wishes!
