To the 2024 Graduates of CNHP

Congratulations Class of 2024!

I am delighted to celebrate the many things you've worked hard to achieve while at Drexel.

I walked alongside so many of you as you completed your journeys. We navigated the halls, classrooms, and labs of the Health Sciences Building together. I witnessed or enjoyed the fruits of your labor in the kitchens and classrooms in the Academic Building, and I helped ensure that those of you who completed your programs online had access to every opportunity offered by the college.

I speak for our faculty and professional staff when I say we are so very proud of you. You have pushed the boundaries of what is attainable. You have shown the world outside of Drexel what it means to be a Dragon. You are leaders who make this world a better place, especially for the most vulnerable populations we serve.

As you make this transition from student to alumni, know that you have changed the University for the better. Your voices, actions, and impact are your lasting legacies and reflect the strong sense of community you have built.

I am excited to call you colleagues, especially as we seek to make meaningful progress in care, research, and service. You will always find that the College of Nursing and Health Professions will support and believe in you. Congratulations, graduates!

All my best wishes for a bright and rewarding future,

Mary Gallagher Gordon, PhD
Interim Dean, College of Nursing and Health Professions
