Exhibit and discussion: Researching Diversity at Drexel

August 15, 2011

Our latest exhibition, 'Researching Diversity at Drexel,' opened August 10. This week we'll be hosting an opening reception with coffee and conversation about researching and documenting diversity. The reception will take place in the atrium of the W.W. Hagerty Library (33rd and Market Streets) on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 5 p.m. We hope to see you there! Drexel opened its doors in 1891 as a technical school dedicated to educating men and women students of all races, religions, and backgrounds. However, the history of diversity at Drexel, as at any institution, is complex. This exhibition contains documents from the University Archives and essays written by students in Dr. Sharon Brubaker's English 103 classes that explore issues of race, gender and cultural diversity at Drexel.
