Lindy Center Events
The Lindy Center supports student civic engagement by providing a variety of opportunities to learn with and from campus and community partners, resources to engage in self-guided learning, and a physical space to be in community with fellow students and feel a sense of belonging. The Lindy Center hosts both recurring and one-time events throughout the year.

Events Calendar
- First Fridays showcase the important work being done by local community organizations and campus partners to promote civic engagement and social change. The first Friday of each term, we invite a different partner to share their projects, initiatives, and programs that are making a difference in our community.
- Talking Tuesdays are designed to provide a space for students to come together and engage in meaningful conversations about issues that matter. Each month, we focus on a different topic related to civic engagement, such as student advocacy or mentorship.
- Collaborative events with civic-focused student organizations
- From Issue to Action invites activists and community organizers within the Drexel community to share their real-life experiences of how they went from identifying an issue to taking action.
- Every year for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, the Lindy Center and our parent office, University and Community Partnerships, host educational and service events that honor the legacy of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement. Events take place both on the actual Day of Service and before and after. Our 2026 line-up of events can be found here.
- Welcome Week is a campus-wide initiative to welcome new students to Drexel and Philadelphia. Each year, the Lindy Center invites students to participate in events that highlight civic engagement on campus and get to know West Philly. 2023 events include an open house with topical workshops, community cookout in collaboration with the Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships, discussion with current Lindy student Leaders about involvement opportunities, and one-on-one civic consultations.
