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. 

If you'd like to stay informed about our events, sign up for our newsletter, check out our Dragon Link page, and follow us on Instagram

Below is a sampling of recurrent events we generally host - but please use the tools above to stay up-to-date with our actual event 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.
  • Throughout Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week of Reflection and Service, the Lindy Center hosts educational and reflective events that explore civil rights advocacy with the aim to inspire individuals to become agents of social change. The Lindy Center also supports service and other events throughout the University. Our 2024 MLK Week page 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.
