Overview
D3—Dinner and Discussion at Drexel—is an interdisciplinary series aimed at bringing together students and faculty members from different fields of study. This program is unique in that it allows members of the Drexel community to share a common intellectual experience outside a classroom setting and then discuss their ideas over dinner. Below you will find descriptions of previous D3 events as well as a description of “The Launch of D3” in ASK, the CoAS journal.
Purpose of D3
Dean Donna Murasko invites College of Arts and Sciences faculty to imagine creative ways to bring their interests together with the themes of courses offered University-wide. D3 events are designed to place students, teachers, and outside experts into conversation, through a panel discussion, film screening, performance, or other format.
The event should bring students and faculty of at least three courses offered in the current term together, to discuss in a relaxed setting a topic that relates to all the participating courses. Of special interest will be D3 proposals related to current events—topics that will take the discussion out of narrow disciplinary boxes and out into the larger world of ideas.
