Signature Events

CIES offers programming designed to provide academic, personal, and professional support and a space where students are seen and their experiences validated. We also provide broader support to the Drexel community by offering workshops on leadership development, resiliency, and grit, as well as networking opportunities connecting students and scholars from different backgrounds and one-on-one coaching with trained professional staff. Some notable programs include Saturday Summit, THRIVE, National First Gen Day Celebration, and Field Day.

THRIVE

The THRIVE Empowerment Speaker Series focuses on fostering belonging and empowering students through purposeful and brave conversations.
