Camera roll favorites from Commencement 2026 🐉💙💛

Commencement marked the culmination of years of dedication, achievement, and experiential learning — and the beginning of new opportunities for Drexel’s newest alumni.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Philadelphia will take the global stage as a FIFA World Cup host city — and Drexel is excited to cheer on the greatest soccer stars from around the globe in the City of Brotherly Love.

Yesterday, we held a ceremonial signing to celebrate our largest gift in history and one of the largest pledges ever made to a Philadelphia university. The Howley Foundation’s transformative $112.6 million commitment will establish the Nick Howley College of Engineering and Computing.

The gift will also enable the University to transform more than 45,000 square feet in Drexel’s 3101 Market Street facility into engineering and computing teaching labs and collaborative workspaces.

In addition, an existing 10,000 square-foot space at 32nd and Market Street will be transformed into the Walter N. Howley Jr. Innovation Garage, a collaborative space that will showcase the work of our engineering and computing student organizations.

Finally, the gift will support, through the Howley College Scholars program, scholarships for future generations of talented students from designated schools primarily in Philadelphia and Cleveland to access a Drexel education, regardless of their financial circumstances.
