Noah Drebing graduated with a degree in Biology.
During his time at FGCU, Noah served as Treasurer and Philanthropy & Scholarship chair of Alpha Tau Omega. In these roles, he managed a $70,000 budget, introduced the organization’s first family weekend, contributed to over $60,000 raised for philanthropy during his time in the fraternity, and improved the chapter GPA by 0.3 points while strengthening accountability and engagement among members.
He also served as Treasurer of the Pre-Dental Society, where he introduced hands-on learning opportunities, including a suture workshop led by a periodontist, helping students gain early clinical exposure. In addition, Noah was involved in service initiatives such as Special Smiles, where he worked directly with the special needs community to provide screenings and support.
Academically, Noah worked as a WISER research assistant for Dr. Watanabe, studying how lightning-produced electric fields influence dental pulp nerve cell excitability, with plans to publish his research. He also served as an instructional assistant for Physics I, mentoring students and supporting them through challenging coursework.
Noah contributed to Hurricane Ian relief efforts by supporting both his own neighborhood and surrounding communities, working alongside others to deliver resources and assist residents in need during a period of uncertainty in the Fort Myers Beach area.
He achieved all of this while working as an Assistant to the Regional Manager at Terpening Construction and, for a period of time, gaining clinical experience as a dental assistant.
Following graduation, Noah plans to attend dental school and pursue a career in dentistry.
