In 2006, Drexel University initiated the "Behind Every Graduate" Award for Excellence in Secondary Teaching. Recipients of the award are nominated by Drexel seniors who recall the high school teacher who inspired them to pursue a college education, seek a new perspective on learning or pursue a particular major or career. Since the 2006 commencement ceremonies, Drexel honored thirteen of these teachers and the students who nominated them. We will continue this tradition in 2010 and beyond.
Longtime Drexel trustee Harold W. Pote was deeply committed to recruiting the highest caliber of undergraduate student to the University. Because of the importance of superior teachers in preparing these students, Drexel University is endowing the "Behind Every Graduate" Award in Hal's name.
Graduating seniors are invited to nominate that special high school teacher who inspired them to pursue a college education as they embark on their careers. The Behind Every Graduate Selection Committee will review the nominations and select awardees. Nominations are due by May 7, 2010.
