CORE Implementation Team
The CORE Team ensures integration and consistency across initiatives, defines priority areas for initiative and imperative teams, ensures teams have data to make informed decisions and drives key strategic decisions by moving recommendations upward from teams to University leaders.
The CORE Team purposefully draws from a wide cross-section of the Drexel community to ensure representation, a diverse range of expertise and multiple opportunities for collaboration.
