Strategic Exit Advisors Makes Donation to Continue Support of the Drexel University’s Close School of Entrepreneurship

Strategic Exit Advisors (SEA) recently donated $500 to continue its support of the Drexel University’s Close School of Entrepreneurship’s growing program through our “Pay-It-Forward” initiative.


Curt Cyliax, SEA Managing Director, says, “We started our Pay-it-Forward program to provide financial support for community organizations focused on youth financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and other organizations aligned with the SEA core values. Clearly, Drexel University’s Close School of Entrepreneurship is a worthy recipient. Over the years, we have hired smart and ambitious students from Drexel. And as an alum of Drexel, it warms my heart to give back when we can. On behalf of SEA, I know our relationship with them will last for years to come and appreciate all that they do.”

“Thank you for your continued support of the Close School. Together, I know that we will continue to move the needle in entrepreneurship education. The Princeton Review, for the first time, has developed a regional rankings system, and Drexel’s undergraduate entrepreneurship program at the Charles D. Close School was ranked 4th regionally for 2022, with our graduate programs ranked 8th regionally as well,” said Donna DeCarolis, Ph.D., Dean, Charles D. Close School of Entrepreneurship.
