Student Life, as part of Enrollment Management and Student Success, supports Drexel students in all aspects of their life outside the classroom to ensure their success on campus and throughout their lives by making a positive difference in a student's campus experience. Whether students attend classes on the Center City campus or the University City campus, Student Life offers programs and services that are designed to support student success so they can make the most of their Drexel experience.

Student Life encourages involvement in campus life, supports student initiatives and organizations and serves as a primary liaison for all students. Since education, learning and development take place both inside and outside of the classroom and a successful college career includes social as well as intellectual development, we challenge students to invest in their own success by getting involved.

The co-curricular opportunities Student Life provides can assist with development of:

• Responsibility
• Leadership
• Time management
• Communication skills
• Self-esteem
• People/networking skills
• Diverse collaboration
