Drexel has taken a top spot in national rankings for innovation, an area to which our College has continuously been contributing, including throughout this time of campus closure and, in some cases, pivoting research.
As you work on new proposals, I hope you will take advantage of our
Writer’s Workshop
, an opportunity to get one-on-one feedback for your work. Please submit your proposals for review to
Chad Morris
by the first Monday of the month.
