Carl “Tobey” Oxholm III has been appointed inaugural dean and chief executive officer of Drexel University’s new Center for Graduate Studies in Sacramento.  Oxholm has been with Drexel since 2001 and prior to that he was a practicing attorney in Philadelphia for 22 years.  He was a 1979 cum laude graduate of Harvard University Law School.   Thanks for helping us raise the collective IQ of our fair city. 

We want to extend a friendly Sacramento welcome and say that we consider ourselves lucky to have this Philadelphia Lawyer here in Sacramento.
