Drexel University, Class of 1990
"I can truly say that my encounter with the sociology department at Drexel University was
truly life transforming. The various sociology courses I had taken with Professors Julia Hall,
Elizabeth Petras, and Douglas Porpora provided me with new analytical tools and a clearer
way to understand the society I was living in. My engagement with the sociology department
not only allowed me to discover an interest in sociology but also a career. With the help and
guidance of Professor Porpora I focused my sights on becoming a sociologist and I am
currently an assistant professor of Sociology at Colgate University. The special bond I have
with the faculty and the memories of my experiences with the sociology department at Drexel
University will always stay with me."
