Experiential education is the hallmark of a Drexel LeBow education. So it’s no wonder that during her last auditing class, Associate Professor Barbara Grein wanted to incorporate elements that had students not only studying, but working as well. Since auditing contains concepts and processes that can be difficult to comprehend with just textbook and lecture presentations, adding an experiential component to the class would be very beneficial to learning.
Three teams of Drexel LeBow professors and students are dividing $30,000 in winnings for their proposed course innovations that take advantage of the technology and other enhancements featured in the College’s new 12-story academic center opening this fall. Nearly two dozen teams competed in the Classroom ArchiTECH contest, including our very own faculty members, Barbara Grein, Hubert Glover and Jennifer Wright.
We are pleased to announce the establishment of the C.A. Srinivasan & Henry Jaenicke Endowment Fund, in honor of the well-respected professors. The fund was designed to assist doctoral candidates specializing in behavioral accounting research.

Teams of Drexel LeBow professors and students are competing in a course-innovation contest that will take advantage of the technology featured in a new 12-story, $90 million building opening in fall 2013.
