In-Person Academic Transformation Office Hours with Workstream Co-Chairs
As shared at the Academic Transformation Update last week, we’ll be hosting informal, in-person "office hours” to connect directly with the co-chairs leading each workstream. This is not a presentation, just a conversation. We hope these smaller settings will make it easier to ask questions, offer feedback, and stay engaged with the work that’s helping to shape Drexel’s future.
A Pivotal Step Forward in Drexel's Academic Transformation
Yesterday marked a significant milestone in Drexel’s future, as Faculty Senate representatives held the final vote to support integrating schools and colleges as part of the Academic Transformation. Specifically, the Senate voted on integrating the School of Education within the College of Arts and Sciences, and unifying the College of Engineering, the College of Computing & Informatics, and the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems into a single college with three schools. These endorsements reflect the open dialogue and shared leadership of our deans, faculty, and professional staff — and our collective commitment to strengthening Drexel.
