Talk:Drexel University

Drexel in Popular Culture
Sam Hyde's prank Ted Talk seems to be notable enough in popular culture for it to be mentioned in the "in popular culture" section on Drexel University. This garnered quite a bit of media attention and has stayed culturally relevant many years later. I believe a brief acknowledgement is merited. 136.36.51.65 (talk) 23:43, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
