They seem oddly proud that their new AI cluster:
1. Is located 30 miles outside the city
2. Consumes enough electricity to power 1000 homes

March 5 is the 40th anniversary of the day Macs were first distributed to students on @DrexelUniv campus.
The story was captured on film by our dear departed colleague Dave Jones. To mark the occasion, @DrexelLibraries released the full video on YouTube!

It's well known that @DrexelUniv was the first to require ALL students to have a computer in 1984. But far less known is that computer was the original Mac, a bold decision made before the Mac was released! Read how Drexel is part of @Apple history here:

"In his first few months at Drexel University, Devin Welsh made some lifelong friends...unlike many collegiate friendships, his just happened to include a nearly five-decade age gap. It all began when Welsh, an aspiring writer, decided to attend @WritersRoomDU..."
I have an opening in my lab at NJIT for a PhD student starting in Fall 2024. In particular, I'm looking for a student interested in human-AI collaboration for music composition, production, or performance.
Get in touch if interested!
Did OpenAI's board really take the one big lever they had (a non-profit governance structure) and flush it down the toilet?
There's no way they'll have that kind of oversight power moving forward. I fear it's purely investor-fueled for-profit goals from now on. *Sigh*
Why is @mrbeast holding a Drexel ID…?!?
It's an amazing partnership with Drexel alum Evan Ehlers & @sharingexcess, which redistributes unused food & produce, also at @DornsifeCenter! Check out the video from @BeastPhilanthr together with @RobinHoodNYC!

We’re incredibly proud of Evan Ehlers & @sharingexcess, a former ExCITe Seed Fund grantee! It’s amazing what @DrexelUniv students can do, esp. when you cross innovation with a deep commitment to civic engagement.
Regular produce distributions at @DornsifeCenter will start soon!
Excited to partner with @BeastPhilanthr to expand @sharingexcess’s incredible work to fight hunger! Together, we’re making an even bigger impact to ensure everyone has access to affordable, healthy food.

OMG. This is what innovative civic engagement looks like!
Evan Ehlers and @sharingexcess were at our @DornsifeCenter community dinner this week, distributing free produce to hundreds of community members. We’re incredibly excited their program will be at Dornsife twice monthly!
It was a privilege to share my thoughts on transdisciplinary, inclusive, and creative learning to school leaders around the world. And I couldn’t pass up a chance to do a Disney duet in Orlando! ❄️
Thanks to the #AppleDistinguishedSchools team +
all who put this event together!
