Dear Drexel Dragons,
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our students in numerous ways, greatly impacting the ability for our students to participate in co-ops and cultivate the connections that come with our cooperative education program.
As you know, co-op is integral to a Drexel education. Students graduate with real-world work experience, distinguishing them from their peers as working professionals the moment they begin applying to jobs. We are reaching out to you, our proud alumni network, to assist your fellow Dragons in finding positions and sharing in the Drexel experience. Take part in shaping the next generation of graduates and hire a co-op.
You can participate by providing opportunities to students on a full-time or part-time basis. If you are interested in taking part in the co-op program, please reach out to our Employer Relations team.
While co-op cycles will generally remain the same, we are looking outside the box to offer co-op options that will not compromise the student experience. For more information on the adjustments made to the program, visit Steinbright’s Response to COVID-19.
As the outbreak continues to impact our lives in unprecedented ways, we are deeply thankful for your engagement with the Drexel community as we stand together under these trying and fluid circumstances.
Sincerely,
Sharon L. Walker, PhD
Dean, College of Engineering
Ian P. Sladen
Vice President for Cooperative Education and Career Development
