11:30 AM-1:00 PM

Join us for this annual tradition to commemorate Veterans Day.  Enjoy refreshments beginning at 11:30am, followed by a formal program from noon to 1:00pm.  Join the University’s veteran community in commemorating Veterans Day with a special focus on our military-connected faculty and professional staff who have served their country and join their Veterans Task Force colleagues in fostering a military friendly campus community.  Guests are also encouraged to visit the adjacent Rincliffe Gallery featuring Building Men:  Philadelphia College Students as World War I Military Engineers. This exhibit explores the unique role of Army engineers during World War I, focusing on college-aged students in Philadelphia and institutions like Drexel, that played a role in supporting the war effort, especially Corporal Edward Shenton (1895-1977), an aspiring artist, who enlisted in the Army at 21, as a student at Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art.  Lynn Clouser Waddell, executive director of University Collections & Exhibitions will be available for tours and commentary about the exhibit.

This formal event will be streamed live at noon.  If you would like to watch the event remotely, here is the link for live stream: https://youtube.com/live/hOU0DAarqCA?feature=share
