RESCHEDULED FROM MARCH 16, 2020

Due to the current public health crisis, the spring ScholarSip event will be held online via Zoom. All Drexel faculty and professional staff are invited to join us remotely for what promises to be a lively conversation with colleagues.

Please note that registration is required. All registrants will receive an email with the Zoom link and password on the day of the event.

This year, the Libraries' quarterly ScholarSip event series addresses the theme University and Industry Research Collaborations. 

Each term, a distinguished Drexel professor will offer “food for thought” on the benefits and challenges of conducting and disseminating research when academics collaborate with industry.

This quarter, we are pleased to welcome our guest speaker

Banu Onaral, PhD
H. H. Sun Professor and Senior Advisor to the President, Global Partnerships
School of Biomedical Engineering, Science & Health Systems

Professor Onaral will share insights gained from years of personal experience in building research and innovation bridges between academia and industry locally, regionally and globally. She will provide case studies that illustrate initiation, maintenance and growth of long-lasting and peer-to-peer ‘organic partnerships’ that are robust enough to navigate an ever-changing industrial, corporate, political and global landscape.

Please note that all registrants will receive an email with the Zoom link and password on the day of the event.

Now in its ninth year, ScholarSip is an annual event series hosted by the Drexel University Libraries that seeks to nurture Drexel’s intellectual life and cross-campus community through informal gatherings where faculty and professional staff exchange ideas sparked by greater awareness of interdisciplinary research. Each event includes social time to build acquaintances and a short “food for thought” presentation from a member of the Drexel community. ScholarSip provides an opportunity for members of the Drexel community to gather for conversation – along with a toast to the end of the academic term.
