“My time at Drexel has certainly been life-changing. I have met great people and experienced many new things, both in the classroom and in the workplace. Through working with Athletics, I believe I have been able to leave my mark on campus with the hopes that future students will benefit from what I have done during my time here.”
“As a transfer student in 2009 I came into Drexel a little skeptical about what my role would be in student leadership having missed 2 years of the development period in another university. But Drexel had more to offer me than I could think of. Over the last 2 years I have had tremendous opportunities to rise in the Drexel student community, it has given me great experience in academics, research at Drexel's Space Systems lab and participation in student groups. As a Senior in the accelerated BS-MS program, a research assistant in the Space Systems lab and as President of the Indian student organization DISHA, I really could not have asked for more. This is why I would love to give back to Drexel.”
“Drexel has done a lot for me, from the friends I’ve made to the memorable classes I’ve taken and the truly amazing college experience I’ve had. I see the Senior Class Gift campaign as the perfect way to say “Thank You” and give back to the institution which has invested in me and my future.”
“My time at Drexel has fostered personal development and enabled me to further develop as a leader. Drexel employs exceptional staff who are very caring and supportive about the progress of their students. The school's diverse student body has exposed me to cultural differences of students from different nationality who have a wealth of knowledge to share. Over the years, I have acquired skills and gained valuable experiences in which I can apply to the real world. My undergraduate studies at Drexel has significantly changed my life and my attitude towards how I will approach different ideas and matters in the future. I am choosing to support the class gift because I want to give back to the university which has transformed me as a person overall.”
