Kicking Back Into Gear - by: Matthew Jolles

And we're back! 

First off, welcome to all our newest members of the Drexel commuting community and since our office hosts Transfer student engagement as well, welcome to all our new transfer students from a fellow transfer as well. You are ironically part of one of the largest populations of students on the campus. With that being said, we have a cool blog just for you which you are reading right now. 

Train of Thought is written weekly by fellow Drexel commuters and is a musing of different thoughts, feelings on topics, information about on-goings at Drexel and engaging discussions on subject areas of interest and concern to you. Many times we'll talk about topics or matters pertaining to the Drexel campus. Your feedback to these topics becomes pertinent to our Commuter and Transfer Student Engagement office and Drexel administration in being able to enhance the experience of all students on campus, including you. This blog is POWERED BY YOU, so please hit us back with comments, questions, topics you would like to see covered.

We also have the Commuter Mario account on Campus Soapbox (which you can sign up to join at www.campussoapbox.com or download the app from Google Play or iStore) where we will be posting engaging polls and building conversations on relevant topics related to our commuting community.

In the coming months, you will see many events from CTSE and many discussions taking place through this blog. Some of the topics we will discuss will set the format for our 2nd annual Commuter & Transfer Administration Town Hall where you the students will get to ask, in open forum, all the issues you wish to put in front of university administration. Last year the event was attended by Provost Greenberg and Dean Ruth, and we look forward to hopefully having them back on the panel again this year. 

Well that's all we have for now as this week's blog is simply a welcome back to our returning readers and a welcome to our newest readers. We'll dive into the "cooler stuff" next week. Train of Thought will run every Monday during the term. Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride! GO DRAGONS!
