The Office of International Programs hosted the Third Annual International Research Showcase May 7 to celebrate the multitude of international research on which Drexel faculty and graduate students are working.
Twenty graduate students and 13 faculty members, together representing eight colleges at Drexel (and one visiting international student from Ben Gurion University in Israel) participated. The graduate students shared their research through a poster showcase, and the faculty gave short presentations on their research. Overall, it connected a community of engaged international researchers as well as informed the audience on the various studies happening throughout both the Drexel community and worldwide.
We look forward to continuing the tradition of proudly showcasing the outstanding international work of our faculty and graduate students.
