Several Drexel units and external partners collaborated for a class that ultimately culminated in improved digital literacy and educational opportunities for young learners — and, as a byproduct, physical school and road repairs in the country’s Moshi District.
We are pleased to share updates, important policy reminders, and stories of our colleagues leading innovative work in teaching, research and partnership.
The Environmental Collaboratory is pleased to support the formation of four collaborative teams of faculty, students and professional staff for research, creative and scholastic endeavors that will further catalyze Drexel’s Areas of Excellence & Opportunity (AEOs) in Sustainability and Climate Resilience with funding from the Waverly Street Foundation,
