We invite you to participate in our upcoming Accepted and Incoming Students Reception. This is an excellent opportunity to meet your future classmates, and mingle with faculty, staff, and current students in a casual atmosphere. 

The Drexel University Urban Health Collaborative’s Salud Urbana en América Latina (SALURBAL) research project is convening an international research event that will discuss challenges and opportunities in characterizing and studying the determinants of urban mortality with a special focus on the Latin American context. This event is a pre-symposium event hosted by Drexel’s Dornsife School of Public Health and organized in conjunction with the Urban Health Collaborative’s biannual symposium Reimagining Health in Cities: Challenges and New Directions.

Today’s cities face many challenges, including climate change, rising inequality, and health disparities. Yet urban environments offer optimum opportunities for the development of innovative programs and policies that can improve population health. The Drexel Urban Health Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to spark conversations and new ideas about how to turn evidence into action, share creative methods and solutions, and stimulate debate among participants from diverse perspectives and fields.

Whether it’s been 20 years since your last “first day of school” or it’s your 20th consecutive autumn of packing your bookbag, we have tools to help you thrive at Dornsife's New Student Orientation.
