A Banner Day: Salus Flies the Drexel Flag for the First Time
A new beginning.
That’s what Michael H. Mittelman, OD ‘80, MPH, MBA, FAAO, FACHE, president of Salus at Drexel University, called the ceremony held on Aug. 20, 2024, where the Drexel University flag was hoisted for the first time above the Salus University flag on the flagpoles in front of the pond on the Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, campus.
“As we raise the Drexel University flag alongside our own, we celebrate the culmination of months of hard work, collaboration, and the beginning of a promising future together,” said Dr. Mittelman. “This flag should serve as a symbol of our unity and shared goals. We are now part of something bigger: a dynamic, diverse community dedicated to innovation, education, and service.”
Phase 1 of the merger between Salus and Drexel University began on June 30, 2024, following approval from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The next step of the two-step merger process is pending approval from the U.S. Department of Education, specialized accreditors, and additional third parties.
