Purpose for Orientation
Drexel believes that an informed student and family play an integral and positive role
in the university experience. Like most new students and their families, you probably
have many questions about the University and college life in general. We are
anxious for the opportunity to answer these questions as we welcome you to New
Student Orientation 2008.
New Student Orientation is an exciting two days, packed with useful information
sessions and many fun activities, during which you will have your questions
answered, have opportunities to meet members of the faculty, administration and
staff, as well as begin to develop relationships that will last a lifetime. You are
guaranteed to leave New Student Orientation more knowledgeable about what to
expect at Drexel and excited to be the newest members of
the Drexel community.
