Meet Our Students & Alumni
Drexel Graduate Students Marc Hem Lee (Biomedical Studies) and Carlie Mendoza (Cancer Biology) recently gave speeches at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies Pre-Commencement Award/Hood Presentation Ceremony on May 16, 2018.
"Keep following your passion. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Because once you find it, it will lead you to your purpose." Read Carlie's Speech
"I believe that the lesson remains—that we, with our similar stories of the adversities of our past, stories shaped by the words of yesterday, each have the capacity to choose differently for ourselves. Choosing these programs here at Drexel is proof of our empowerment and gives new meaning and perspective to the degree we will receive in a few days." Read Marc's Speech
"The one thing that really amazed me once I left Drexel is that I was never made aware of the fact that, as a woman scientist, I wasn't necessarily treated equal to men. I never felt that at Drexel. As I've gone out into the larger scientific community, it's become much more apparent to me, and I am now a big advocate for getting more women involved in science."

"Going through the program helped shape me as both a scientist and a professional; while I didn't land a job at GSK straight out of school, I wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for the Molecular & Cell Biology & Genetics program at Drexel."
