The only mandatory co-op in Pennsylvania and one of three in the United States, Drexel's program is among the nation's oldest, largest and most respected.

"My cultural identity has definitely shaped who I am," says Hannah Dominguez, BS environmental science, current co-op at the The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. "I feel it is my responsibility to help pave a path and act as a role model for people in my family and the Latine/Hispanic community."
At the Academy, Drexel co-op students find connection between their cultural roots and their passion for science. From a tropical field studies course in Ecuador to building greater Latin American representation in the Academy's Library & Archive to discovering new opportunities for community-building, these Dragons are celebrating their heritage and creating inclusive spaces in academics and research.

At Drexel University, our dive into experiential learning opportunities from the moment they arrive!
Incoming students in the Drexel University College of Arts and Sciences Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Science (BEES) participated in the Pre-Term Field Experience at Barnegat Bay Field Station in Waretown, New Jersey. Students collected water quality data, investigated local algae and plankton, waded through the marsh at the Lighthouse Center, collected crabs, and canoed the Wading River in the Pine Barrens.
Through hands-on experience and mentorship, our students engage with their professional interests from the very beginning of their Drexel experience.

"For my co-op, I am the production assistant for Comcast's Ralph J. Roberts (RJR) Forum, our two-floor, 500-person amphitheater located in the heart of the Comcast Technology Center and named after the company's founder. My role is to provide production support and technical assistance for a variety of employee programs at Comcast," says Carrie Madden, a current Drexel student.
As a custom designed major, Madden is studying Creative Direction in Entertainment, a combination of Entertainment Arts Management, Communications, and Hospitality Management. During her co-op with Comcast, Madden is embracing every opportunity. At the RJR Forum, Madden led an employee event for Jenna Bush Hager's virtual book club, "Read with Jenna," complete with a book signing, meet and greet, and fireside author chat.
"When I am not supporting events for Comcast, I am VP of Recruitment for my sorority, where I get to hone my event and production skills to create memorable experiences for new members joining Drexel's campus!" Madden shares.
"Whether it's a backyard BBQ or a milestone event for Comcast employees, I love planning events that create impact and bring smiles to many."
