The background of this Padlet is a doorframe that "frames" this year's conference.  According to The Drexel Collection, the university's first president James MacAlister received $1 million from Anthony J. Drexel in 1891. He took the money to Europe to find art to bring back to the new university museum. This door, which is a 17th Century Hindu doorframe, framed the original entrance to the museum, which was created to embrace and display eclectic cultures.
