President's Welcome
Dr. Susan Kelly became the eighth president, and the first female to lead Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, when she took the position on May 1, 2006. An Australian, she earned her Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Melbourne after receiving her graduate degree in education from the University of Canberra, and her undergraduate degree in psychology and English literature from the University of Tasmania.
In 1998, she was recruited to the United States to become Dean, Associate Provost and a tenured full professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UMW). Before coming to Charles Drew University, Dr. Kelly served as Vice-President for Higher Education and Business Partnerships at the Chicago-based Council of Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), a national non-profit organization committed to the advancement of adult and working students.

The University is constantly being challenged—but never enough to distract us from our great objective—to provide the best education for future health professionals. Through clinical practice, education and research, Charles Drew University enables low-income students to graduate with skills that will help them become dedicated and compassionate health-care providers to minority and disadvantaged people in Los Angeles and around the world.
