Incoming Drexel president has ambitious plans

The Philadelphia Inquirer, 3/18/2010
Drexel University has found someone to fill the big shoes of its late former president, Constantine Papadakis, and John Fry’s Philadelphia connections will come in handy, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Known for his boundless energy and aggressive agenda, Fry may be someone who can fill the shoes of Papadakis, who started medical and law schools, increased enrollment, and improved finances during his 14-year tenure.

Fry said he would start as he had at F&M--meeting people on campus to learn as much as he can before collaborating on a plan for the 22,000-student university.
