Event Description
Hosted by: Drexel University Libraries, Collections & Archives, with the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences (College of Arts & Sciences) and Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel
This first display of the Library Exhibit Initiative features an assignment from PSY 101 General Psychology (Winter 2024-25). Prof. Eric Zillmer asked students to select a spot in the city that brings them happiness—and visit Philadelphia Revealed, an exhibition from the Atwater Kent Collection.
The Philadelphia Challenge presents students’ reflections on objects from this city history collection, interactive elements, and a Happiness Map display by the Happiness Lab at Drexel. The Library Exhibit Initiative will continue to feature students interacting with Drexel Collections.
