It is my pleasure to share with you this letter from an appreciative parent of a Drexel student who wishes to thank the University’s dedicated faculty and employees for their excellent work.

"Four years ago my wife and I brought our son, Nicholas, to Drexel for orientation. Dean of Students Dianna Dale told the parents we would notice a marked change in our students after only one term at Drexel. She was absolutely correct….

"Nicholas has gained confidence, maturity, and self-reliance because of the Drexel experience. He has taken advantage of the opportunities Drexel affords him and had done fantastic with his studies. The co-op program has given him practical experience which cannot be bought anywhere, and the chance to earn money to help pay for his education. He has received honors so numerous we cannot honestly keep track of them….

"Thank you and the great people at Drexel who made this possible for our son. We cannot begin to list all of the people that helped make our son’s education so successful….

"As someone who knows the business world and understands what networking and experience mean, I know a world-class program when I see one."

Thank you Mr. Olson for your kind words. They serve to remind us why our mission for educational excellence at Drexel is so important.

C.R. "Chuck" Pennoni Interim President
