Raising money and seeking balance - by Matthew Jolles

The Main Rail Line:
Yesterday, I had the honor of participating in the Philadelphia 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament to benefit Heart of our World Foundation. While my team may have lost both games, we could not be more proud of our part in the efforts that helped raise $2500 for impoverished children in Africa as we help to build stronger education and athletic opportunities for them. The tournament, which was created and hosted by Drexel Women's Basketball player Abby Redick (yes, she's J.J. Redick's sister) was the result of a class project as she drives for her degree in Communications.

On the other train line today:
Does any one else feel like you struggle more during the winter quarter than Fall, Spring or Summer? It could be the weather, more activities stretching your focus, harder courses, etc. We want to know what you think! We'll select the best responses and give you advice on how to balance your Drexel experience to its fullest.

See you at the next station!
- MJ
