President ’ s Message
Greetings ,
This issue of our newsletter , which marks the start of summer at CDU , is imbued with stories that echo our commitment to growth and community engagement . As we introduce initiatives and celebrate achievements , each narrative is a testament to the dynamic and impactful environment fostered at CDU . Our staff and students continually strive to excel , not just on campus but beyond , as they engage with broader societal issues and contribute to meaningful change .
The vibrancy of our campus life is also highlighted in this issue with news about our upcoming Jazz at Drew event , which promises to not only showcase exceptional talent but also to enrich our cultural landscape , marking another highlight in our university ’ s calendar .
Moreover , our newsletter shares insights into significant collaborations , such as the new educational and research partnership with City of Hope , designed to foster a diverse workforce in specialized medicine and bridge health equity gaps . Such initiatives are crucial in our mission to address and rectify disparities within healthcare .
As we move forward , let us embrace the summer as a time for both celebration and contemplation . Let us continue to nurture the seeds of knowledge and service sown here at CDU , ensuring they flourish and impact not only our immediate community but also the global landscape .
Wishing everyone a productive and inspiring summer .
