欢迎周

Welcome new Dragons! We are so excited that you have decided to join the Drexel community.

New Dragons, It All Starts Here in Philadelphia

With hundreds of events, 欢迎周 is where all new undergraduate students get to know their fellow classmates, make our campus community their home, and experience the great City of Philadelphia!

Your time with us will begin with 欢迎周, Drexel's new student orientation event, with classes officially beginning the following Monday. This celebratory and informative event will give all New Dragons, including both first-year and transfer students, the opportunity to be together for a full week before diving into classes.

欢迎周 provides you with hundreds (yes, hundreds!) of events and activities to choose from to help you settle into your new home here at Drexel. While we follow health and safety recommendations, you will still have the chance to meet faculty, professional staff, and current students during the orientation, as well as learn the ins and outs of Drexel and the city of Philadelphia. We look forward to seeing you in September!

欢迎周 festivities will begin with our Move-In Weekend, occurring September 13 and 14, when students living in the residence halls will start to move in and set up their rooms. Then, there will be a full schedule of both activities over the course of the following week from September 15–21 designed to introduce everyone to the campus, fellow classmates, and the city of Philadelphia.

Move-In

We'll have knowledgeable current students, faculty, and professional staff here to greet and welcome you, so we know you'll feel at home from the first moment you arrive!

First-Year Residential Students

Your 欢迎周 activities will begin with our Move-In Weekend on September 13 and 14. Resident first-year students will start moving in on those days, with a few exceptions for special programs and accommodating social distancing measures.

Non-Residential Students

Move-In Weekend will consist of events for non-residential students to kick off their 欢迎周 Programming.
