Students at Drexel University were shocked to find out almost two weeks ago that a member of their school community became the victim of a hate crime. On Wednesday, February 20, the University received an email from Drexel President John Fry condemning the incident in which a Black freshman found the N-word written on the bumble-bee name tag hanging on her door in Myers Hall.

It was with great honor that DBAC’s Vice President and PR Manager, Raihanah Siddiq and Tianna Williams, were able to serve as mentors to 30 incoming Drexel Freshmen through the Empowerment Retreat program last weekend. The retreat was born from a collaborative effort of different faculty members across the university. The committee consisted of Fatimah Conteh from DragonsTeach, Tasha Gardner from the Center for Learning and Academic Success Services (CLASS), Bernetta Millonde from Diversity Initiatives & Community Relations, and Ileana Santos-Gonzalez from Freshman Admissions. Their mission was to give new students of color a leg up in their academic career by providing them with peer mentors and meetings with faculty members to inform them of the resources and possible experiences available to them on campus. |
