Drew hails from the Pacific Northwest, but has traversed the West Coast for school, work and pleasure. In the verdant Willamette Valley he completed his undergraduate studies at Willamette University, wherein concentrating on sociology and ethnic studies. Willamette University afforded Drew with the opportunity to play NCAA baseball, be actively involved with campus clubs, work in residence life and lead wilderness orientation trips. While pursuing his master's degree in education at the University of California at Berkeley, he thoroughly enjoyed the farmers markets, rich cultural life, pleasant scenery and general enthusiasm for life present in the Bay Area. Since 2007 he has collectively called Pitzer College, the Los Angeles Basin and Inland Empire his home.

Major & minor
Psychology, Energy, and the Environment

I am at Pitzer because
The people here are incredibly nice, smart, fun, down to earth, and diversely talented, while being modest about their abilities and achievements.  Being a student of Pitzer and of the greater Claremont University Consortium makes for an amazing academic, extracurricular, and social experience.

Outside of class
I play guitar, sing, perform with the Claremont Shades a cappella group, surf, mountain bike, play basketball, mentor through UncommonGood, work on cars, etc.

My favorite place in Southern California is

Decolonization through Theater

I am at Pitzer because
I wanted to surround myself with people who garden barefoot, bike naked, think critically, and act courageously.

Outside of class
I work at the Queer Resource Center, attend seed bomb making workshops, devour all things pumpkin, and make monthly trips to Mt. Baldy for the full moon.

My favorite place in Southern California
Joshua Tree National Park, because it's there that I learned that "We're as free as we feel".
