The
Office of Global Engagement is pleased to announce the 16th Annual Student
Conference on Global Challenges: Life in the City. This year, the conference
will be held on Thursday, May 18th, 2023. With the growing
populations of cities worldwide, it is critical that the private, public, and
civic sectors collaborate to solve challenges related to climate change, food
and housing insecurity, economic inequality, education, cultural preservation,
and access to innovation and technology. How do we address these challenges in
a way that benefits people around the globe? The conference provides
undergraduate and graduate students with an opportunity to present research and
engage in critical dialogue regarding what it means to live in the modern-day
city Drexel University was a co-sponsor of the 2022 Philadelphia World Heritage
City Celebration, celebrating the city's status as the first U.S. designated
World Heritage City. Office of Global Engagement looks forward to engaging with
local organizations in support of this event. |
