Dean's Update:  It's a Wrap

At Drexel, June marks the conclusion of the academic year and with that comes the excitement of celebrating accomplishments. In the Libraries, we are ecstatic with the impact of several finalizations.  

As final exams begin, we will open the doors to a new reading room on the second floor of W. W. Hagerty Library.   The space is the result of a renovation project begun April 14, 2015 that will bring more natural light from Market Street into the library's interior and will provide attractive seating for twenty-five people.   Also in support of students finalizing their courses, campus Business Services, USGA and the Libraries will provide coffee and snacks during late night hours of the 24-7 study period - a welcome response to a request voiced by students.
