What if I just graduated from Drexel University, do I have to wait to give back?
Absolutely not! We encourage all of our newest alumni and seniors to make a gift as part of our continuing efforts to encourage philanthropy.
Why is annual participation so important?
Alumni annual fund supporters are thought to possess a high degree of satisfaction with their college experience. Publications such as U.S. News and World Report factor alumni participation into their national ranking of leading universities. Drexel University continues to rank high among the country’s institutions, earning a well-deserved reputation for excellence. It is this reputation that can increase the value of a Drexel University degree.
