Drexel combines world-class academics with a transformative cooperative education program and produces leaders equipped to anticipate and address the challenges of the future. Remembering that Ambition Can't Wait drives us all to accomplish more.

The Civil Discourse: Exploration Through Conversation

Continuing the 15-year legacy and tradition established by The Drexel InterView, this series encourages conversations that challenge conceptions and supports Drexel University’s ongoing commitment to positive, respectful civil discourse.
