Every relationship has a beginning, and every relationship has an end. This is a fact of life.

Students, alumni and faculty are bidding farewell to one of the most respected and humble men at Drexel. This man has been the driving force behind much of Drexel's revitalization over the past 12 years.

Anthony T. Caneris, or "Tony" as many of us commonly call him, has left a positive impression on nearly every student that he has met at Drexel.

Tony is retiring this month with his wife Antoinette to Cincinnati, Ohio, where most of his family resides.

One of Tony's most memorable projects, and one that he is especially passionate about, is the Mario Dragon statue that stands at 33rd and Market. This statue has become a Philadelphia landmark and a visible Drexel icon.

Tony has also worked with numerous students, both in and out of the USGA, to improve the student experience. Just show any Drexel alumni from 10 or more years ago today's campus, and most of the improvements they notice can be credited to Caneris.

Whether you love or hate his policies (he was adamant about the overnight guest policy in the dorms), we think that we can all agree that Anthony Caneris was one of the best things to happen to Drexel.

Tony, we'll miss you and we sincerely hope that you enjoy your family and your retirement.
