Since her arrival at Temple, student-athlete Alyssa Drachslin, Class of 2016, has earned praise as a leader both on and off the court.

A starting defensive specialist on Temple’s volleyball team, she says she draws her energy from her teammates, whom she calls her sisters, as well as from all of her fellow Temple athletes.

“Being a part of the Athletics Department at Temple is special—it’s kind of a bond within the department that our fun is playing sports,” she said.

Drachslin, who represents Temple both on the volleyball court and as president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, credits the university with helping her to become the person she is today.

“Temple has prepared me for the real world,” she said. “Temple has presented me with extremely great opportunities to really take charge of my life and push myself.”
