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.

Join us on Friday, May 30th at 11am for the final portion of our two-part Annual Chemistry Faculty Minisymposium! This two week special event features recent findings from our very own Chemistry Faculty members and allows the opportunity for students and guests to ask questions about their work!
