Exhibition from August 15, 2019 through November 8, 2019. The
exhibition, In the Field, examines the use of University resources and
materials within the College of Arts and Sciences' Department of
Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Science (BEES). It focuses on
student and faculty interactions with one of the University's most
notable research centers and collections: the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Drexel University. The motto of BEES - "Field Experience,
Early and Often" - aligns with Drexel's experiential learning and
curriculum and the mission behind University collections. Within the
department, those collections consist of more than 18 million
specimens at the Academy, used by faculty and students to identify
field specimens and illustrate concepts in the classroom. This
exhibition was curated in partnership between The Drexel Collection,
the Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Science and
the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. An opening
reception will be held on August 15th from 5:00-7:00PM. The
exhibition is free and open to the public.
