loyal buyers of Drexel underwritings. They paid fat trading and investment banking fees to Drexel and helped the firm to launch bigger and bigger deals. CenTrust held more than $1 billion in junk bonds and worked closely with Drexel. The relationship was launched when Drexel led an underwriting syndicate of five investment bankers that raised $12 million in subordinated debt to bolster CenTrust's capital base. Eventually, CenTrust also bought $1.4 billion in junk bonds from Drexel. Moreover, in early
Gary Winnick founded Global Crossing in 1997, observing the surge in telecommunications of the 1990’s and utilising it to construct the largest fibre optic network in the world for the purposes of transmission of voice, text, video and other data between 27 countries.

Epsilon Sigma Pi. Gamma Sigma Epsilon is the Chemistry national honor society, while Epsilon Sigma Pi is a college-wide honor society. I was lucky enough to have a research opportunity. I was able to research DNA Replication at Rockefeller University in Manhattan. I researched CMG on the Replication fork. I spent approximately 8 weeks at Rockefeller. E.

shower students with higher grades in order to keep low-demand classes at the minimum enrollment. “As a result of the university’s widening elective leeway, students have more power over teachers” (Edmundson 153). For example, at Drexel University, and many universities across the country, they are doing away with tenure and more and more professors are part-time, and have no security in their job. This leads to professors tailoring their instruction to what the student, the “consumer” wants and
In 1852 when John Henry Newman wrote his essay, “The Idea of a University,” he wanted to convey that a University’s purpose was to be able to educate first-rate members of the social order. Newman’s theory, although over a hundred years old, still applies to today’s college students; many are seeking higher educations to not only lead to successful careers, but to also become an improved person in society. In a time when human endeavor was being redesigned, as industries, philosophies, and sciences
have shown that tertiary school graduates end up having higher salaries, there are an unlimited amount of ways to become successful. Bill Gates, in particular, is a great example of success without a four-year degree. Gates dropped out of Harvard University to pursue a career in software, and is now one of the wealthiest people in the entire world (“Billionaire College Dropouts”). Students need to recognize that a college degree is not the only path to success. In fact, Gates is not the only entrepreneur
question I set forth on how Greek life differs from college to college is quite broad because I cannot go to all the universities in the world comparing and contrasting Greek life. Studies show that there are top ten schools known for its Greek life. The most publicly known schools out of the top ten happen to be Lehigh University, Pennstate University, Virginia Tech, and University of Florida (College Magazine). Greek life in colleges on my perspective is tending to get out of hand. Although many
A September 2011 study by the National College Players Association and Drexel University, titled "The Price of Poverty in Big Time College Sport," looked at football players and men's basketball players at the 120 colleges whose football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

David DeMatteo, Meghann Galloway, Shelby Arnold, and Unnati Patel from Drexel University published an article Sexual Assault on College Campuses: A 50-State Survey of Criminal Sexual Assault Statutes and Their Relevance to Campus Sexual Assault. This article comes from the Journal Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, Volume 21, Number 3, published in 2015. This article ranges from page 221-238. Due to a slew of recent and highly publicized campus sexual assaults and the lack of response by the academic
The L Word Versus the I Word Of the 49 ALA-accredited library science programs in the United States, only one - the School of Library Science at Clarion University - omits the word "information" from its name. The "L" word doesn't fare so well. Twenty-eight percent of accredited library science programs have dropped the word "library" from their name. Other "I" word schools don't bother to seek accreditation because they no longer see their mission as training librarians. The "L" word camp
are an estimated 41 million American kids playing competitive youth sports. The number of children involved in youth sports has risen significantly over the last 10 to 20 years, according to Dr. Steve Carney, a professor of sport management at Drexel University in Philadelphia (CNN). Many students get involved in athletics for the love of the game. Some do it to pass time during their

The Catcher in The Rye is a captivating novel by the author, J.D Salinger. It can be viewed from many perspectives. I have had many thoughts and feelings towards The Catcher in The Rye and the characters in it, by reading the book so far. In my opinion, The Catcher in The Rye is a very confusing book. Although it is very baffling throughout the chapters, the plot has intrigued me into reading more of it with the unpredictable plot twists. New characters have also been introduced that keep affecting
There is Struggle in Success As young adults, there are many things that we are expected to do. Going to college is one of those many things. According to CBS News, in 2011, 94% of American families expect their children to go to college. If you want to obtain a degree and work, college is an obvious choice. However, doing this is not simple. The life of a college student it far from easy. SATs, ACTs, Accuplacers, these are just the beginning of the process for college. Before you even get accepted

In the article “ Blue-Collar Brilliance” the author Mike Rose, was obviously arguing that just because some jobs requires less schooling than others, it doesn’t mean that their jobs use less brain, intelligent and less thought process in their profession. To argue his theory Rose told us about his mother, about how when he was younger, he observe his mother as a waitress at a coffee shop and family restaurant. Rose told us how his mother loves her being a waitress and how her job required her to
I am thankful to ACRL's Recruitment & Nominations committee and honored and humbled to stand for election with Lauren Pressley as a candidate for ACRL vice-president/president-elect. ACRL has been my professional home since my initial years as an academic librarian. The landscape of higher education and academic libraries continues to ever evolve as much as technology transforms asynchronous and synchronous learning. Academic libraries and librarians must continue to remain relevant. Highlighting
In “Should Everyone Go to College?” Isabel Sawhill and Stephanie Owen make a strong valid point on whether or not college is for everyone. For many students ready to leave high school, wondering whether they should attend college is an issue that may lay heavy on one teenagers mind. There are a few factors that could be a difficult decision depending on a person’s goal they are working towards. Some students jump right into the workforce after high school. Others may sign up for the military after
Determination Generates Success Many people believe that students that encounter hard lives will commit academic sins. However, many professionals that successfully graduated college while having struggles in their lives, proved otherwise. In fact, Culpepper mentioned in his composition, “The Myth of Inferiority”, students might succeed in any academic institution, even if they experience hard lives (330). Also, he states that students with light loaded routines have the same chances to fail in
accountability of education for all. For those in favor of the expansion of education, free college represents one of the great hopes for a better world. Even in the poorest nations, people believe and support in the funding of the expansion of universities and other higher learning opportunities are wise investments. Being a college student, I disagree with the idea that the U.S. should implement free college for all U.S. citizens. Free college in the United States is an unrealistic dream that cannot
