NOVUS RETREAT: SEPT 12-14, 2024
Move in early for free and build a friend group on campus before school even starts! The NOVUS retreat is a chance to root your college experience in faith and friendship. Explore the city, meet other Drexel Students, and get to know your new home away from home—the Drexel Newman Center.
We are thrilled to welcome our incoming Freshmen into our Newman Community! Here we grow in our relationship with the Lord in community.
Let us introduce you to all the opportunities available so you can get involved!
