Congratulations to Darrell Omo-Lamai, who has been selected as a finalist for the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program! Darrell is Drexel's first finalist for this highly selective award.
Each year the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program selects up to 100 high-achieving students from around the world with demonstrated leadership and civic commitment to receive full funding to pursue a wide-ranging graduate education at Stanford, with the goal of developing a new generation of global leaders.
