“From the beginning, Drew demonstrated a commitment to do all that was possible to make (our daughter’s) dream a reality. The admissions counselor worked directly with the financial aid office to advocate for our needs. I knew then that the Drew community would treat us like a family member instead of a stranger.”
—Michelle Backe
