Officials from Drexel and Salus ceremoniously commemorated the first phase of their merger with a flag-raising ceremony last summer, looking forward to the final stage this coming summer, when academic programs will combine. Doing the honors of raising the flag were Nina Henderson Provost and Executive Vice President of Drexel Paul Jensen and Bre Myers, assistant dean of Osborne Audiology at Salus at Drexel University. Pending approval this June from the U.S. Department of Education, Salus’ academic programs will operate under Drexel’s College of Nursing and Health Professions and the College of Medicine, with the exception of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, which will remain a stand-alone college for accreditation purposes.
