Exhibition from June 12 through December 13, 2024. Even from its beginning in 1891, Drexel was a pioneer in promoting education for women. The original Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry consisted of eleven programs . One of these departments was the Department of Domestic Economy, which was one of the first of its kind outside of schools that were dedicated solely to the education of women. This exhibition shows the history of Westphal College from the early years of the Home Economics program to its push into art and design in the latter half of the 20th century to the college today. Featuring photographs and letters from Drexel University Archive s and pieces from the Drexel Founding Collection, the exhibition highlights the people, programs and practices that have been pivotal to Westphal’s growth from one of the earliest academic programs for women.

This exhibition was curated by Priya Vaswani, Photography & Art History '24 and designed by Will Schumacher, Graphic Design '24.

An opening reception will be held on June 12th from 5 - 7 PM. RSVP required.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Hosted by outgoing Dean and Shakespeare scholar, Dr. Paula Marantz Cohen, we will read Richard II and discuss the play as we go along. Richard II is a historical play that traces the downfall of King Richard II, whose ineffective and capricious rule led to his overthrow. After banishing his cousin Bolingbroke, the king seizes his estate to fund a war, sparking a rebellion. Bolingbroke returns from exile, gains widespread support, and forces Richard to abdicate the throne. The play explores themes of kingship, legitimacy, and the consequences of misrule. No grades, no pressure, no judgment. Join us on Zoom to read or just to listen. Can't make it each week? No problem! Drop in as you are able. Wednesdays starting August 21, 4-5 p.m. EST.
