In 2014, Drexel becomes the first university in the country whose recreation center hosts an on-site therapy dog year-round and the first college in the Greater Philadelphia area to retain a therapy dog on campus. Jersey, an adopted Carolina blend and a certified therapy dog, works as an official employee to de-stress students from the fall of 2014 to the winter of 2016. Drexel’s current therapy dog Chai, a purebred Cane Corso and certified therapy dog, starts in the spring of 2016.
