Constantine Papadakis has been the President of Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA since 1995. During his tenure, Papadakis has leveraged the historic strengths of the University (co-operative education, a focus on technology and the rich resources of its Philadelphia location) to...
- double full-time undergraduate enrollment from 4,500 in 1996 to more than 12,000 today;
- triple freshman applications;
- quadruple the endowment from $90 million to more than $500 million; and
- quintuple research funding.
Today, Drexel educates 17,500 students, is the sixth largest private employer in Philadelphia employing more than 5,000 people and has an annual budget of more than $572 million.
Papadakis' salary of $805,000 is currently the sixth highest among university presidents. Source: The Triangle (Drexel University's Student Newspaper)
