In 1887, two years before Frances Cabrini would come to America, Katherine Drexel was in front of Pope Leo, asking him to send missionaries to the United States. Pope Leo suggested that Sister Drexel become a missionary herself, and that was when Cabrini and Drexel were first united. Sister Drexel became a contemporary of Cabrini and helped her along the journey of missionary life. Over 100 years later, Cabrini and Drex el are re-united in a more updated technologically modem manner. Drexel University, which is located in West Philadelphia, has agreed to become the host of technology-related services for Cabrini College. This agreement is the first of its kind in the world, and is considered to be a national model. Last Tues., April 3, Cabrini President Dr. Antoinette Iadarola and Drexel President Constantine Papadakis signed an electronic version of the agreement, on a white board that showed the contract blown up in size from a projector. The entire ceremony was recorded, videotaped and broadcasted live via internet. ''To me it just made sense," Iadarola said. "Drexel is noted for providing quality education, and for being on the cutting edge of technology." Iadarola was introduced to Papadakis, while attending the Purple Aster Ball last May. Their conversation began when Iadarola questioned Papdakis on his nationality. She wondered why he was attending this Ball since he is Greek. "I told her I was half Italian, and our friendship began there," Papadakis said laughing along with his audience.
