Senior Thesis
Virtual Show and
In-Person Reception
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting an event for our graduating Seniors. We are still unable to have an exhibition like we have in past years, but we are having a small get together in the Rush Alumni Garden on June 10th, 2021 from 4-7 PM. The entrance is off Lancaster Walk between 33rd and 34th streets. This will be an outdoor event and we will have space for 30 people at a time in the garden. There is a large area next to the garden that more of us can congregate as well. We do not have a rain date so please keep your collective fingers crossed for good weather!
As we did last year, we will be launching the Senior Thesis Exhibition Website on June 9th. Each student has also produced a book which may be available for sale at the reception. We hope to see you there, this has been a very hard year and the Seniors have all worked tirelessly to produce great work. Please join us in congratulating them on their accomplishments.
To accommodate social distancing and capacity guidelines, please consider staggering your arrival and limiting your time in the garden. There will be no food or drinks served. Masks must be worn at all times.
For further information regarding the safety requirements for attending events on Drexel’s campus, please see “Visiting Campus”
