Each year, the Drexel University College of Arts and Sciences community comes together for Research Day to celebrate our faculty, staff, and students who explore a wide range of topics spanning the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences.

Research Day includes poster sessions and presentations from tenured, tenure-track, teaching and research faculty; postdoctoral fellows; graduate and undergraduate students; and research trainees. This annual event recognizes the diverse breadth and depth of the exceptional scholarly activity that takes place across our college.
