Our Literary Community

Department of English and Philosophy

Lisa DiMaio, EdD, Drexel Teaching Professor of English, strives to create a 'home away from home' for her multilingual students.

Writing is the primary tool for learning and doing, central to Drexel University’s mission to prepare each generation of students to write with flexibility, confidence, and curiosity as contributors to their civic and professional lives. The Department of English and Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences creates an inclusive and equitable literary community through experiential learning, campus-wide events, social-justice projects and dedicated academic support.
