Last month, I was invited to speak to a gathering of Drexel donors at the close of their luncheon. The audience included a mix of generations - mostly alumni - who I challenged to question what they valued from their university experience that inspired a habit of giving thanks. The luncheon was for many of Drexel's most dedicated donors - giving regularly for numerous years, or planning to donate through their estate. 

My story highlights the value of an engaging education that prepared me to become an intentional life-long learner with a capacity to address constant change.
