SBITT CCLLEGE Some undergraduates spend five years at Drexel and never venture beyond their own college doors. If the only time you're in Nesbitt College is to catch the Friday Nite Flick, read on! Nesbitt Hall houses the Nesbitt Col- lege of Design, Nutrition, Human Behavior, and Home Economics. A total of 883 undergraduates and 15 1 graduate students currently fill the classrooms, studying everything from Techniques in Human Relations to Economics of Con- sumption. Some occupy its laboratory facilities for Design in fashion, photography, graphics, painting, draw- ing, and sculpture. Other students work in Nutrition and Food Sciences labs do- ing research in biochemistry of obesity, food and drug interaction, food microbiology, and food analysis. One of the special projects happening within Nesbitt is in the Design depart- ment. Graduate students, under the direction of Miss Dolores Quinn, Associate Professor of Design, are designing attractive and functional garments for people with physical disabilities. Miss Quinn has been recognized for her coordination and development of this class in the Fall 1978 issue of the Journal of Home Economics. Feel as though you're learning a little about Nesbitt? Good! The photographs on these next few pages will tell you even more. If you're really interested, run across Market Street - you'll be amazed at what goes on inside Nesbitt College!
