The Lindy Institute for Urban Innovation is built around a single ambitious goal – that of making Drexel University the most civically engaged university in the nation. The institute serves as a university-wide think tank established to engage in multidisciplinary problem solving for urban challenges locally, nationally, and globally, and provides a hub for Drexel and its partners to incubate and

launch innovative urban initiatives while promoting experiential learning, public service, and scholarly work by students, faculty, and professional staff. Through the Lindy Institute, Drexel University will become a greater part of the global conversation, enhancing diversity and inclusivity through its integrated and comprehensive approach to community revitalization, and helping to create a forum for the rich exchange of best practices and replicable strategies.

A piece about belonging and the chance to see our city with fresh eyes. Philadelphia is not only the birthplace of liberty; we’re still building it.
