In 2006, Drexel University initiated the “Behind Every Graduate” Award for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching. The award was created to acknowledge outstanding high school teachers who provided a new perspective or inspired a student to consider a certain major or career. Drexel University values the high school teachers who have inspired our graduates. Drexel honored four high school teachers and the students who nominated them at its commencement ceremonies in 2007. We will continue this tradition of honoring excellent high school teachers in 2008 and beyond. 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 April 25, 2008. Visit http://www.drexel.edu/provost/behindeverygraduate/ to nominate your favorite teacher! 01/09/08 Title: Student Open Forum - Online and On Campus Meet with Dean Gloria Donnelly for a one-hour open forum.
