“People tell graduates, ‘Welcome to the real world.’ I have always fundamentally disagreed with that statement… All of the knowledge you have, the classmates and professors you have met, the all-nighters in the library, every exam, every small victory — that was all in the real world. You have been living in it,” says Justin Best, BS  business & engineering ‘19, Olympic gold medalist, and 2025 Drexel University-wide Commencement ceremony speaker. 

Best shared his words of wisdom with our Drexel University Class of 2025 and celebrated all that our Dragons have achieved. Thank you to the graduates, friends, and family who for joined us today at Citizens Bank Park. ⚾️🎓

Congrats, grads, you are now #ForeverDragons! 🐲💙💛 #ExperienceDrexel
