Today's Presidential Spotlight: William Hagerty September 14, 2009 William Walsh Hagerty (1916-1986), pictured at right, served as president of Drexel from September 1, 1963, to his retirement in 1984 -- at nearly 21 years, Drexel's longest presidency. Like his predecessor James Creese, Hagerty also oversaw a long period of expansion for Drexel; most notably, the school's transformation from an institute of technology into Drexel University in 1970. ~Shaun Kirkpatrick Come and learn more about Drexel's Presidents through an exhibition The Past Personified: a Presidential History of Drexel, on display in the lower level of Hagerty.
