Gateway to the University: The Collections at Drexel (11/16/2022)

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	11/16/2022	Start Time:	11:00 AM
End Date:	11/16/2022	End Time:	4:00 PM

Exhibition from September 13, 2021 through December 23, 2022. The Peck Gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday, 11-4pm, except holidays.

Frank Furness’ 1876 Centennial National Bank, located at the crossroads of Market and 32nd Street, marks the gateway to the Drexel University campus. Now the Paul Peck Alumni Center, it is home to a newly renovated gallery space designed to showcase Drexel’s rich and diverse collections. These collections, which embody the interdisciplinary collaborative spirit of Drexel academics mark Drexel as one of the great collecting universities in the United States.

Though widely known for innovation, entrepreneurship and civic engagement, Drexel has been a serious collecting institution from its very inception in 1891. In fact, it was the University’s forward thinking founder AJ Drexel, who provided the inspiration and resources to establish The Drexel Collection. The original collection grew and evolved over the years and now the University holds a series of impressive collections including the internationally renowned Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, The Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection as well as The Legacy Center, which documents the role of women in American medicine, and the Archives at Hagerty Library.

The inaugural exhibition in the new gallery, curated by Cara Fry and Derek Gillman, is designed to provide a window into Drexel’s extraordinary collections which range from rare books to couture; from natural science to fine and applied arts. Every piece in the show is a treasure – including a Rittenhouse Orrery clock from 1873, a 1991 James Galanos evening gown, a 450 million year old slab of fossilized trilobites and a 16th century Paracelsus incunabulum. Also highlighted is an 1876 William Morris textile which serves as a fascinating case study for the way in which the objects in the Drexel collections invite interdisciplinary teaching and research and thereby provide historical context and contemporary relevance.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.

4th Annual Global Teach Connection Summit 2022: Reimagining Global Education and Teaching

Wednesday, November 16, 2022

12:00 pm - 6:00 pm ET

Virtual on Zoom

REGISTER HERE

On behalf of the Global Teach Connect Project Network and the UPenn Area Studies Centers, Drexel- SOE, and Abu Dhabi University collaborations and partnerships, we invite you to register and participate in our upcoming 4th Educational Summit on Reimagining Global Education and Teaching.

Vision
The GTC global communication network aims to develop collaborative relationships to advance our unique niches to better serve targeted populations and communities. During the fall GTC 2021 Summit we introduced a post-COVID theme that focused on how education might look going forward beyond the pandemic. Well, it seems we have approached the beginning of a new era!

What will happen?
During this international summit we will hear from global activists, educators and leaders about how our projects or organizations are connecting scholars into our programming by offering resources and sharing education networks. To act on these conversations, we are planning the above referenced Summit for Wednesday November 16th, from 12-5 PM. This will happen during Drexel's International Week (Nov 14-18th) on Zoom.

Why Attend?
This 2022 GTC, Reimagining Education thought leadership summit will address the priority for providing teachers, traditionally underrepresented students and faculty opportunities to engage in international education training and resource-sharing networks, as well as professional development to prepare them to meet the post-pandemic, new era academic, intercultural, and career challenges of an increasingly globalized education system and society leveraging the Global Education, Teaching, and Leadership Competencies (GETLC).

Predictive Modeling in Healthcare Informatics (11/16/2022)

Start Date:	11/16/2022	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	11/16/2022	End Time:	5:30 PM

BIOMED Hybrid Seminar

CLICK HERE TO ATTEND VIA ZOOM

Title:
Predictive Modeling in Healthcare Informatics

Speaker:
Christopher Yang, PhD
Professor
Director, Healthcare Informatics Research Lab
College of Computing and Informatics
Drexel University

Details:
Data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have drawn significant attention in healthcare recently. Heterogeneous data sources including electronic health records, clinical notes, sensors, and health consumer generated data, are acquired to support accurate predictive modeling in healthcare. We'll discuss a few applications of predictive modeling in this seminar. In addition, we'll discuss the explainability and fairness of these models.

Many advanced artificial intelligence algorithms such as deep learning are very accurate in prediction, especially in medical imaging. However, these algorithms are considered opaque. It is difficult to explain the outcomes of the prediction to users. Fairness in AI is a pressing issue. Given the biases in data and algorithms, the predictive models may reproduce existing inequities or embed new bias or discriminations. It is harmful to our healthcare systems. We will discuss a few approaches of mitigating unfairness.

Biosketch:
Christopher Yang, PhD, is a professor in the College of Computing and Informatics at Drexel University. He also has a courtesy appointment at the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Health Systems. He is the director of the Healthcare Informatics Research Lab.
