Check out a summary below of what’s coming up in the second half of the Year of the Dragon. We hope you can join us at an upcoming event, or take advantage of our online opportunities for involvement. Join us for the fun as we continue to celebrate our Dragon pride with the Year of the Dragon. It won’t come around again for another 12 years!
JUNE – CELEBRATING DRAGONS OF THE FUTURE
The Class of 2012 is the newest group of Drexel alumni! We’re going to celebrate their hard work at our Graduation Celebration Networking Event for Drexel seniors and alumni. If you have a family member who is a graduating student, you’ll be able to send them a special gift to congratulate and welcome them to the Alumni Association.
JULY – CELEBRATING DRAGON TALENTS
This month we will let our alumni teach us a thing or two. Through events and online videos we will celebrate the Year of the Dragon by sharing the unique interests and talents of our alumni. Graduates will have the opportunity to share their best “how-to” videos with the Alumni Association on our YouTube and Facebook pages. We can’t wait to see what you decide to share!
AUGUST – CELEBRATING DRAGONS AT PLAY
Drexel alumni work hard, and play hard! We’ll be enjoying the sunshine and rooting for the Phillies in stadiums around the country in August. We hope to see you at one of our Phillies games in your area. Can’t make it to the ballpark? Show us how you choose to kick-back and relax by adding your photo to our “Dragons at Play” photo album on Facebook.
SEPTEMBER – CELEBRATING DRAGON DISCOVERY
Discovery and exploration are an important part of the Drexel culture. We’ll celebrate this spirit of discovery in September with a scavenger hunt throughout the city of Philadelphia. If you’re not local, don’t worry, we’ll have a special online version of a scavenger hunt just for you.
OCTOBER – CELEBRATING DRAGONS GIVING BACK
Community service is a key initiative for the University and we celebrate those who share our passion for giving back. During this global month of service, we will recognize our alumni who are active members in their communities and with The Community Alumni Network at Drexel University (CAN DU).
NOVEMBER – DRAGONS CELEBRATING DRAGONS
During November we want to say “thank you” to the many alumni volunteers who have given their time and talents to the Alumni Association and the University. We will host our annual volunteer thank you reception on campus in November. In addition, you will have the opportunity to share your gratitude with faculty and staff who made a positive impact in your life at Drexel.
DECEMBER – CELEBRATING THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON
With an exciting year of activities and experiences under our belt, we’ll relive our Year of the Dragon celebrations in a video montage. Sit back and enjoy the show!
