Getting Involved

As you begin your time as a Drexel Dragon, your schedule will soon be filled with dynamic classes. But you need more to lead you to success: Your Drexel experience will focus on student involvement, and that goes beyond the basics. Here at Drexel, you can expect to boost your leadership skills by taking a key role in your favorite club, meet new friends at one of many lively events on campus, and find a supportive community that shares your passions. There's a place for every Drexel Dragon to get involved.

Student Organizations

Our Dragons are active in over 250 clubs and organizations throughout campus, which means there's a community for every interest. And if your ideal club isn't represented, we'll give you the tools to begin it yourself! Make sure to check out the Involvement Fair, held each fall and spring quarter: There, you can find out how to get connected on campus and check out over 150 of our campus organizations. Learn more about all of the current student-run organizations, as well as their upcoming events by visiting DragonLink. Just log in using your Drexel credentials!

Athletics

Whether you're attending group exercise classes in the UREC, showing off your Drexel pride as part of the DAC Pack, or bringing our Dragons to victory during a game, staying active is a big part of campus culture! Our men's and women's Division I teams are active in basketball, soccer, crew, lacrosse, swimming, squash, and more. If you're looking to Join the action yourself, then you could opt for joining one of our many club sports, like equestrian or women's wrestling, or entering an intramural sport team, such as flag football or soccer.
