Sharon L. Walker, PhD, joined Drexel Engineering as dean on September 1, 2018. A Yale-trained water quality systems expert, she previously served as Interim Dean at the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering at the University of California, Riverside. By fall 2020 after in depth planning and engaging the entire engineering community as well as colleagues across campus, Dean Walker announced the launch of the college’s Strategic Plan, which provides a roadmap for the future of Drexel Engineering. The plan calls for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, a focus on the student experience and initiatives to further strengthen research and teaching in four thematic areas. She is also the Executive Director of ELATES at Drexel, a national leadership development program for senior women faculty in STEM fields.
