  • BEES Department Graduate Seminar

    Guest speaker, Dr. Bianca Charbonneau, Founder of Eco Branch LLC, will be discussing “Weathering the Storms: Coastal Ecology in the Face of Climate Change.”

    ABSTRACT:
    Shaped by wind, waves, and interacting biological and geomorphological processes, barrier island habitats sit at the dynamic interface of land and sea. The habitats within these mosaics —including dunes and marshes — are ever changing, reshaped daily and episodically by disturbance. The effects of climate change stand to add to uncertainty regarding their stochasticity, development, recovery, and persistence. Plants act as ecosystem engineers in these habitats. They shape them and facilitate recovery post-disturbance through ecogeomorphic feedbacks between organisms and physical processes operating across varying spatial and temporal scales. Together, ecological and geomorphic processes drive topographic development and impact localized erosion, ultimately affecting how these coastal habitats respond to storms and other episodic or chronic stressors. From the aboveground morphology of individual plants to the interconnected root, rhizome, and mycorrhizal system hidden beneath the sand, seemingly small biological differences can have landscape-scale consequences for dune formation and storm erosion. Understanding these relationships brings together multiple academic disciplines, linking fundamental questions about ecosystem and landscape change with applied implications for habitat conservation, management, and recreation. Using coastal dunes as the primary lens, this seminar will explore how biological processes shape topography, influence storm response and erosion, and inform coastal conservation and restoration efforts.

    BIO:
    Dr. Bianca Charbonneau is a field ecologist specializing in coastal dune plant ecology. Known informally as “Dr. Dune Goon” or “the Dune Goon,” she has studied coastal dunes and their responses to storms since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. She is an affiliated scientist in the School of Marine Science and Policy within the University of Delaware’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment and runs her own ecological consulting firm, Eco Branch LLC. She earned her PhD in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2019, where she was a National Defense Science and Engineering Fellow. She earned a Master of Science in Biology from Villanova University and completed undergraduate studies in ecology, evolutionary biology, and environmental studies at Princeton University. She has led and contributed to interdisciplinary research endeavors bringing together local coastal practitioners and researchers across disciplines, universities, and sectors, including as a postdoctoral ORISE Fellow in multiple laboratories within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. She believes that innovative science is inherently creative and brings that spirit to her research and outreach endeavors.

  • Sustainable Success: Work-Life Balance as a Graduate Student

    Thursday, November 5, 2026

    5:00 PM-6:00 PM

    Virtual via Zoom (Registration Required)

    • Graduate Students

    The Graduate Online Success Series: Grad Online Jawn is a series of online workshops offered by the Office of Graduate Studies and the McGonigal Academic Resources Center (ARC), in collaboration with campus partners, to provide graduate students with key skills and resources to support them throughout their academic journey.

    Graduate study requires significant time and effort, which can sometimes make it difficult to balance your personal, professional, and academic commitments. Work-life balance, though, is key to academic and professional success. You've got this! Join Julie Hang, Psy.D., Staff Psychologist and Outreach Coordinator, Drexel Counseling Center, and Rebecca Signore, Executive Director, Center for Learning and Academic Success Services (CLASS), to discuss strategies and resources for setting boundaries, managing your schedule, accessing resources, recharging, and supporting growth.

Implementation


Adding an Events Listing component is the same process as adding any other component in the Presentation > Details.

  1. Follow the directions for adding a component. The Events Listing component is located in the Select a Rendering dialog box in Sublayouts > V2 > Active Data Calendar > Events Listing.

  2. In the Control Properties dialog box, enter parameters to define which Department or Category the sidebar should find events for, to specify where the event's detail page is, and to customize the sidebar's appearance or functionality. See below for a listing of applicable parameters. See Configuring the Calendar for more information on adding parameters.

  3. Click OK until all dialog boxes are closed.

  4. Save and approve the page for publication.

Events Listing Parameters


Parameter Name Value(s) Description
Department A number or list of numbers corresponding to a department. Example:1,2,3 Filters events to only display events in a specific department. IDs may be comma separated and are listed on the Department ID Listing page.

cat A number or list of numbers corresponding to a category. Example:1,2,3
Filters events to only display events tagged with a specific category. IDs may be comma separated and are listed on the Category ID Listing page.
 
subcat A number or list of numbers corresponding to a subcategory. Example:1,2,3
Filters events to only display events tagged with a specific subcategory. IDs may be comma separated and are listed on the Subcategory ID Listing page.
DetailsPage A path to a sitecore page where the calendar details should appear 
Example: /sitecore/content/Home/studentaffairs/programs_events/events/details
The details page must have the Event Details component placed on it. This is a required parameter. 
MaxResults A single number. Example: 3 Specifies the number of events that appear in the sidebar. The default is three.
Title A string of text. Example: More Events Changes the wording of the sidebar's default "Upcoming Events" title.
StartDate 2012-05-28 A date to start looking for events.
EndDate 2016-01-01 The date to stop looking for events.
Paging true / false Creates pagination at the bottom of the events page. 
MaxPerPage A number. Example: 10 Specifies the number of events on each page. Works in tandem with the Paging parameter. 
q Example: "Entrepreneur Entrepreneurship" (quotes required) A word, or number of words to search the calendar for. The example to the right would look for for both "entrepreneur and entrepreneurship" in the titles or bodies of the events.

Audience Example: "Alumni Freshman" (quotes required)
Works like q above. The example to the right would look for for both "alumni and freshman" audiences.
AddEvents The format is "ED1|IID1, EID2|IID2"
example:  4868|15557 or 4868|15557,4858|15559
A specific event or events that should appear on a calendar. The "EID" is the "event ID" and IID is the "Information ID. Both be found in the URL of the event. For example: http://events.drexel.edu/EventList.aspx?view=EventDetails&eventidn=5420&information_id=16825
The EID of this event is 5420 and the IID is 16825
IncludeImage true / false Sets the page to display images (true) or to hide them (false). Default is true. 
UseAnd Example: true This parameter allows for more specific filtering. For example, if you only wanted events tagged with a specific department AND category to show on your calendar, you would use this parameter in addition to the standard Department and cat parameters. By default, the list of events will display any events tagged as a department OR category.
