ADVISORY/Paralympics Hopeful to Pass the Torch to Tomorrow's Leaders as Drexel Hosts Accepted Students Day.


Assignment Desks

ADVISORY...for Sunday Sunday: see Sabbath; week.  (April 18)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)


What:    Having a disability does not stop Travis Mohr from pursuing
         his dreams.  In fact, Travis is a champion. The Drexel civil
         engineering major won a Gold and Bronze medal in swimming in
         the 2000 Sydney Paralympics even though he was born without
         femur bones in his legs. He now has his sights set on the
         2004 Paralympics to be held this August in Athens, Greece.

         As part of this year's Accepted Students Day, Travis will
         share his key to success with 2,400 invited students and
         their family members. He will explain how through positive
         thoughts we shape our lives, implement our decisions and aim
         to realize our dreams.

         In addition to hearing Travis' inspirational message,
         Accepted Students Day is designed to answer all the last
         minute questions students may have before deciding if Drexel
         is the place for them. The potential freshmen will interact
         with current Students, get a close up look at campus life and
         experience what being a Drexel student means.


When:    Sunday, April 18, 2004 -- 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.


Where:   Daskalakis Athletic Center (33rd & Market streets)


Visuals: Musical performance by Drexel University Fusion Band plus "8
         to the Bar" a cappella group ... Travis Mohr's Gold and
         Bronze medals ... Beach volleyball ... Families touring
         campus ... A Philly-style lunch.
