From meetings with leaders at Uber and the U.S. Embassy to presenting research to a century-old olive oil company, along with exploring what the city has to offer, the Madrid International Consulting Residency was a success!

Which is harder: nailing a putt, or nailing a presentation? ⛳
LeBow students received a day-long immersion in Philadelphia's golf scene through the Marketing Crisis Challenge earlier this spring. Offered in collaboration with @philadelphiapga , this business case competition challenged students to devise and pitch actionable plans, under a tight timeframe, for building awareness among youth, amateur and golf professionals and for attracting audiences new to the sport.

Turning a class project into a real, data-driven deliverable 📊
Duirng the last quarter of their graduate program in Business Analytics, Prachi Ghogare, MS '26, and Valentina Serna '22, MS '26, used survey data from student co-ops to create a dashboard, drawing on data-mining and coding techniques from throughout their studies to correlate on-the-job experiences with key skills and academic courses.
Entities from throughout the University, including @lebowcareerservices and @drexelsteinbright , will make use of this dashboard, adding their own data to improve co-op experiences for both students and employers.
“We made it not just to be relevant now, but to be more organic so that it will stick around and be used for many years," Ghogare says.

“AI is not going to eliminate your job - it's the person next to you that knows AI.”
Drexel alum Joe Parente, former AI consulting leader at KPMG, shared this perspective during a Close School lecture - a wake-up call for every student and young professional navigating today’s market.
At Drexel, we don’t just treat AI as a buzzword. We treat AI as a core entrepreneurial capability. Through the Center for Applied AI and Business Analytics at Drexel and our innovatively re-engineered courses at the Close School, students are moving beyond theory. They are practicing innovation at the speed of AI, using agents, prompt engineering, and "vibe coding" to build functional ventures in real-time.
We value experiential learning that takes skills beyond the textbook, teaching students how to adapt, pivot, and lead in an AI-first economy. As AI continues to reshape industries, Drexel students won't just be watching the change; they will be the ones leading it. 🐉

Meet the Class of 2026 commencement student speaker: Ari Cabrera
@yungpicari chose to attend college in her hometown to maintain her roots in the Philadelphia community, and she co-majored in finance for the industry's high earning potential.
Throughout her student career, @lebowbridgeofficial and @drexelcies provided a foundation, while her passion for making art led her to explore a different path.
In her address to graduates, she says, "I want to provide a different perspective and hopefully help them move into this next part of their lives with a sense of permission, a sense of calmness and peace, but also a sense of motivation... you can build the life that you want now, and it’s really up to you."
After graduation, she will continue to pursue art and grow her following as a content creator.

Over spring break, spirit in motion ❄️🏅
"Spirit in motion" is the motto of the Paralympic Games, and a group of Drexel students saw that spirit up close during an Intensive Course Abroad in Italy, offered through @drexelstudyabroad by LeBow’s Department of Health Administration and @drexelcnhp .
Along with traveling the mountain roads between Milan, Trentino and Cortina d’Ampezzo and taking in Paralympic competitions in sled hockey, ski jumping and curling, students studied the history of the Paralympic movement and adaptive sports, and tested biomechanical products designed to assist both Paralympians and individuals with limb differences at Politecnico di Milano, one of the top engineering schools in Europe.

We spent the day on-site with the team at Google!
Our first-year students traded the lecture hall for the boardroom today.
It’s one thing to read about an industry. It’s another to stand right in the middle of it.
Consider us officially inspired!
The future is looking bright. Stay tuned for what’s next! 🚀
