There are people all over the world that have great ideas, but never have the money, resources, or support they need to pursue those ideas and turn them into a reality. We believe that when students are given the resources they need to fulfil their dreams, then we have a better chance, as a generation, at effecting change in the world around us. We pursue this effort by hosting students from all corners of the University that want to pursue projects that help effect change in the city around us: Philadelphia. When projects are completed, we use the Drexel Smart House as a model home to display and demo these innovations, inspiring others from around the university to pursue their ideas as well.

In all, Drexel Smart House is a student-led, faculty-supported, multidisciplinary organization that promotes innovations in Philadelphia. The 3425 Race Street property serves both as a tool for student-led projects to develop these innovations and as a connection between Drexel Smart House and the surrounding community, enabling Drexel Smart House to spread its benefits beyond the University.

As President of Drexel Smart House, I hope to work to develop an organizational structure that can guide the organization towards rapid expansion and success. I have been actively working on fixing previous issues with knowledge transfer, organizational transitions, and a fuzzy organizational vision. My current long term vision is to increase our current membership and project base by 50% by the end of 2019.
