Involvement Opportunities

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Family Weekend on May 7–9, 2021 will move forward as a virtual weekend of workshops, educational activities, and more. If health and safety regulations allow, we also hope to include a suite of on-campus events. Check back for more details and event specifics.

The Drexel Family Association (DFA) improves the student experience by providing parents and family members a network of support. The DFA serves as a connection to the University and provides parents and family members with communication, involvement, and development opportunities.
Student Emergency Fund
The Drexel Family Association along with the Dean of Students has created a fund to support students in cases of temporary personal emergency such as family member death, medical emergency, emergency travel, natural disaster or loss of housing (fire, flood, collapse, domestic violence, etc.). Please consider supporting this fund and our students by visiting the Institutional Advancement donation page or by mailing a check made payable to Drexel University, P.O. Box 8215, Philadelphia, PA 19101. Please include "Student Emergency Fund" in the note area of the check.

One way for families of current students to connect with their Dragon community and stay up to date on all things Drexel is through the Drexel University Family Portal. Family members of all undergraduate students are encouraged to visit the University Resources for Parents and Families guide to learn more and activate your account.
