Items being disposed of from laboratories may not include hazardous waste or dangerous chemicals. For all laboratory hazardous waste, please contact Environmental Safety & Health at 215.895.5891 to arrange a special pick-up.

For items that have residual value but are no longer useful for the University, please contact drexelsurplus@drexel.edu to see if they can be sold through the Surplus Sales program.

The annual Campus Clean-up allows departments and offices on the University City Campus to efficiently dispose of unwanted items while improving the general appearance of our facilities and reclaiming precious space occupied by items that should be discarded.

New Acquisitions: Highlights from The Drexel Collection (8/31/2021)

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 13:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	8/31/2021	Start Time:	9:00 AM
End Date:	8/31/2021	End Time:	6:00 PM

Exhibition from June 28, 2021, through October 22, 2021. All visitors without a Dragon card must check in for a visitor pass.

The Drexel Collection has been actively collecting since its founding in 1891. The earliest acquisitions were purchases at the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1893 and donations made by Drexel family members and friends including Anthony J. Drexel, James MacAlister, James W. Paul, and George W. Childs. The collection grew through the 20th century with donations from Drexel family members, faculty, students, alumni, and friends of Drexel University.

This exhibition is a survey of what the Drexel Collection has collected throughout the last four years. With these donations we are able to continuously diversify the collection, as well as expand the collection’s parameters.

This exhibition was curated by Mary Elizabeth Kulesa ’22 as a part of her undergraduate Co-Op. Mary is a Photography and Art History double major and is excited to be working with new photographs added to the Drexel Collection. Special thanks is due to all of the donors who have helped expand the collection.

Shakespeare Read-Aloud (8/31/2021)

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 20:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	8/31/2021	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	8/31/2021	End Time:	5:00 PM

The Pennoni Honors College would like to invite you to another Shakespeare Read-Aloud for all interested students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends of the Pennoni Honors College. We will be reading and dissecting Twelfth Night.

Chaos, confusion, and comedy ensue in Shakespeare's rom-com about a sister and brother shipwrecked and separated, as they find themselves part of interwoven plots full of practical jokes and mistaken identities.

The reading resumes each Tuesday, from 4-5 p.m. live on Zoom. The reading will be led by Pennoni Honors College Dean Paula Marantz Cohen, author of Of Human Kindness: What Shakespeare Teaches Us About Empathy (Yale UP).

Our aim is to have attendees engage with this great play in whatever capacity they choose. You can come to read or just to listen. There will be no pressure, no judgment, no grades — just the chance to commune together over a great work of literature and provide a little laughter in our present moment.
