As you may know, Drexel is always searching for new initiatives, novel outreaches and sustainable projects that serve to enhance our professional growth and development opportunities. Once such idea offered by one of our faculty colleagues is to develop a virtual conference book, or proceedings of the conference, that would be comprised of chapters submitted by session presenters that are refereed by a conference publication panel.

We encourage you to submit a chapter once your presentation has been accepted for the conference.  Please submit your chapter for consideration to Joseph Hawk at jmh356@drexel.edu.  If you have any questions, they can also be directed to the same email address.  

The 2018 conference book is the inaugural compilation of chapters submitted by conference presenters.  Presenters in this process underwent a rigorous vetting for this publication, and as the conference continues to expand, we look forward to an increasing number of presenter chapters in the future. The 2018 book consists of articles from 8 presentations and includes a introduction by Dr. Frederika Reisman: Professor Emerita, Drexel University School of Education and Director of Drexel/Torrance Center for Creativity and Innovation.
