The Drucker School Student Association (DSSA) kicked-off the 2007 Spring Semester with renewed vitality and focus--making good on its commitment to re-vitalize student body interest and involvement in DSSA activities and services.
A recent, spirited Drucker Social held at Heroe’s Restaurant, attracted a large cross-section of new and seasoned Drucker students who ”mixed and mingled” while sharing free appetizers and lively exchanges. Drucker Dean Ira Jackson and Melinda Moers, Director of the Drucker Alumni Association also attended-- circulating and celebrating DSSA’s new energy.
According to new DSSA President, Ina Gonzalez, the “mixer” was only a prelude to the line-up of other exciting activities being scheduled, including a series of Drucker Student Association Information Sessions which are already underway and sparking student interest and participation.

Additional session dates will be announced for the Finance & Investment Association led by Director Jiaili Cora Jin (MSFE 2008) and for the Entrepreneurship Club led by Director Jiren Lei (MBA 2008).
