The Drexel Liberty Scholars program is breaking down barriers and changing lives in the process. On Thursday, March 10, 2022 the director of the Liberty Scholars program joined Mario the Magnificent, Drexel’s mascot, and visited the Philadelphia High School for Girls to surprise Jaylin Bowens with her admission to the Liberty Scholars program. As part of the University’s commitment to social justice and college access for all, the Liberty Scholars program enrolls 65 students from across the nation with demonstrated financial need who are also historically underrepresented or first-generation college students.

At Drexel University, we want to celebrate our graduating Forever Dragons. We know you have worked hard, made meaningful memories, and pushed beyond the limits of what’s expected to reach this important milestone. And wherever you go in life, personally or professionally, Drexel will always be your home. As our Class of 2023 Dragons take this next step, we know that they will continue to make an impact on the world and move forward as if failure was not an option. The future is now in the hands of our Forever Dragons, and we can't wait to see what they will do!

Co-op sets Drexel apart from other universities, allowing students to learn alongside experts in their fields and see firsthand how these innovators are shaping the professional world. Each of these transformative experiences uniquely prepares our Dragons to expand the limits of what they can achieve as students, employees, and as individuals.

Welcome Week at Drexel University marks the beginning of an exciting time in every Dragon’s journey, as they officially become part of the Drexel family! This fun-filled week is more than just orientation — Welcome Week gives all New Dragons the opportunity to move-in early; begin to get adjusted to college life; and get to know each other, Drexel's campus, and the great city of Philadelphia all before starting classes.

Drexel University was proud to serve as sponsoring host of the 2023 American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting, held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

How do you celebrate graduates without a graduation? On June 11, 2020, Drexel University honored the resilient Class of 2020 by turning the lights in Philadelphia blue and gold, including Drexel's Main Building, the iconic Mario statue, Philly's Boathouse Row, and other beloved landmarks. Although Drexel's 2020 University-Wide Commencement Celebration was held virtually and not at Citizen's Bank Park, that did not stop us from celebrating our accomplished graduates.
