Daily News | Drexel athletes got to work and beautified this West Philly community
On Monday, over 400 Drexel student-athletes cleaned 17 blocks of West Philly streets — the same streets, many of these students currently call home.
“I talk often about how important it is for our athletics department to be in community with each other and West Philly,” said Maisha Kelly, Drexel’s director of athletics. “We are neighbors, and we compete and practice amongst a community here, so being civically engaged is a part of who we are, and who we want to be, academically, athletically and just as people.”
“It’s important for athletes to be involved with the community no matter where they come from. Our athletes are out here today to help clean up, and give back to the streets they walk on every day,” Brown said. “With nearly 100% attendance of all athletes on every team, it shows how important it is to our culture at Drexel to give back to our community.”
