Drexel acquires a new historical lineage for itself in 2011 by combining with the Academy of Natural Sciences, which predates Drexel itself by nearly 80 years. The collaboration has been beneficial: Academy researchers regularly teach classes at Drexel’s new department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Sciences, created to bring Academy and Drexel scientists together, and many students have completed co-ops at the Academy. Drexel students, faculty and staff receive free admission to the Academy.
