Dear Alumni,

As we celebrate this season of gratitude and giving, I want to thank you for your expanding partnerships and engagement with the College of Engineering. Your involvement as mentors, employers, donors and advisors propels our mission.

At our recent State of the College, we celebrated our progress implementing our strategic plan and looked forward to our shared future goals. Highlights included increased enrollment and research funding, as well as features of many of you, who have gone on to leadership roles and innovated in your industries. We are energized by the opportunities ahead.

Your support also makes high-impact work possible, like recent research insights on drone navigation near power lines, predicting localized climate change impacts on water resources, and advances in sustainable concrete formulation. And students like Alyssa Kemp and Sarah Malik, who are helping to shape Drexel’s future as Provost Scholars, carry on the Dragoneer legacy you helped establish.

As the world around us continues to face challenge and change, this Thanksgiving season we realize how much we have to be grateful for at Drexel Engineering - and that includes our sincerest gratitude that you are a part of our engineering family. Thank you for your partnership and all you do to connect with your alma mater.

With appreciation,
