Founded by a group of recent graduates in 1993, the Young Alumni Association serves as a support system for Drexel's young alumni – graduates of the past 10 years – offering networking, social and volunteer opportunities that encourage alumni to remain connected to the university.

Today, the Young Alumni Association continues to grow, as it increases programming and participation with the Drexel community.
