The Drexel University Alumni Association and the Steinbright Career Development Center offer a full-range of workshops, seminars, career counseling and online resources to help you reach your professional goals and manage your career.

Upcoming Networking Events
and Seminars

The Alumni Association sponsors career development seminars, in-person and online, throughout the year in which alumni volunteers deliver programs on a variety of topics, such as job search, personal branding, leadership, entrepreneurship, and career paths in specific industries. Sometimes, these speakers are employed in fields such as human resources, executive search, or career counseling while other speakers simply have a particular passion for or rich experiences to share that relate to these topics. The program description contains a recommendation on the career stage(s) for which the program would be most relevant, so you can decide if it is the right fit for your needs and interests. But, all alumni are always welcome at any career development seminar.
