The Dornsife School of Public Health was founded in 1996, with Jonathan Mann as its first Dean. In 2000, the School came under the operational management of Drexel University and in 2002 fully joined the University's Health Sciences network, where it was physically located until early 2014 within the Center City Hahnemann Campus, alongside the Drexel University College of Medicine and the Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions. In mid-January 2014, the school moved into the renovated Nesbitt Hall building, located in the University City Campus. The building used to house the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design. In September 2015, the School received a $45 million gift from longtime philanthropists Dana and David Dornsife, in recognition of which the School was named after the donors.
