The Drexel Department of Politics proudly welcomes Beth Leech, Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science, Rutgers University–New Brunswick, for a discussion of her latest book, "What Matters: Public and Private Agendas in Cross-National Perspective," which is currently under review. Professor Leech studies American politics, the roles of interest groups, social movements, and the mass media in the public policy process. Her work is informed by theories of collective action, agenda building, and human cooperation and coordination.

As the annual Honors Day celebration demonstrates, the Drexel University College of Arts and Sciences is home to many of Drexel’s finest students. Our community applauds these scholars recognized by their peers, faculty and national fellowships committees for these distinctions. Faculty nominate many students recognized at this ceremony based on their contributions in the classroom, the lab and the community; others have written essays or theses that department committees selected. All have maintained impressive records that set them apart from their peers.

Each year, the College of Arts and Sciences community comes together for Research Day. Join our faculty, staff and students to celebrate their exploration of topics spanning the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences.
