Message from the Dean
Welcome to Student Life!
At Drexel, Student Life makes a positive difference. We offer programs and services that are
designed to help you make the most of your Drexel experience. The co-curricular opportunities
we provide can teach:
- Responsibility
- Leadership
- Time management
- Communication skills
- Self-esteem
- People skills
- How to work collaboratively with diverse populations
Your involvement in Student Life is essential in making Drexel's campus life a valuable one. We encourage you to participate in out-of-the-classroom activities, become involved, and learn from those same experiences. Studies have shown that involvement outside of the classroom not only assists a student in being successful at an institution, but also give a graduate an edge on a future career.
Involvement in Student Life can enrich your years at Drexel. The good times, good friends and support you'll experience will create an exciting environment in which to live and learn. Student Life staff are available to answer any questions you may have about getting involved or to refer you to the campus resource that will help you succeed at Drexel.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with your concerns.
Sincerely,

David A. Ruth, Ph.D.
Dean of Students
