He is proud of the numerous success stories among his students ~ several of whom now regularly win awards in art shows they enter.

Drew was nominated Outstanding Instructor by students and staff, which resulted in his receiving the first annual Oasis Award in 2011 for exceptional achievement in teaching with Grossmont Adult Schools. Since then, many of his students have received the Outstanding Student award.
