Come hear about the Fulbright Study/Research grants from Drexel students who are finalists for the program and staff from the Drexel Fellowships Office. In this workshop, we will review the basics of the Fulbright US Student Program and consider a range of projects that students have done with the support of a Fulbright grant. Participants will leave the workshop with one or two initial ideas for what they might propose to do on a Fulbright if they were to apply. For more information visit the Fulbright US Student Program website or email us at fellowships@drexel.edu. 

Dr. Adam Fontecchio, professor of electrical and computer engineering and associate dean of undergraduate affairs, will serve as the next speaker for the Dean's Lecture Series. In Fontecchio's lecture, "From STEM to STEAM - Broadening the Impact of Drexel University Educational and Research Initiatives through the ExCITe Center," he will discuss the recent trends that have indicated a decline in the creativity of U.S. students. In addition, Fontecchio will focus on how the solution of the STEM to STEAM approach is capitalizing on the potential of combining digital creativity and technical focus to develop the next generation of leaders, spark innovation and drive economic growth. The Dean's Lecture Series is free and open to the public.
