Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design

The Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design (AWCoMAD) formerly the College of Media Arts and Design (CoMAD) is one of the colleges of Drexel University. In 2005 the college was renamed after alumnae Antoninette Passo Westphal at the request of her husband after what is believed to be the largest private donation to the university in its history. The college is the home to the Mandell Theater, the Pearlstein Gallery, Drexel’s television station (DUTV), the Kal Rudman Institute for Entertainment Industry Studies, MAD Dragon Records and Drexel’s Historic Costume Collection. The college was originally created within the Drexel Institute as the Department of Domestic Economy in 1891. Throughout its existence it has been known as the School of Domestic Science and Arts, the College of Home Economics, the Nesbitt College of Design, Nutrition, Human Behavior, and Home Economics, and the College of Media Arts and Design. In 2005 it was renamed the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design after alumnae Antoninette Passo Westphal. In January 2009, the Westphal College received the largest public philanthropic gift ever recorded at Drexel University, $25 million.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
