LeBow Launch

Please note that LeBow Launch does not offer any credits for participation. Deadline for sign up is July 28, 2022.

Come to Drexel early and jump-start your fall term in this early arrival leadership program.

LeBow Launch is set to occur on campus at this time. However, if the program has to be canceled due to the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, a full refund will be issued.

Program Description

LeBow Launch is a two-day introductory leadership program designed to provide incoming LeBow College of Business first-year students with a head start on college by allowing them to explore key business concepts and sharpen leadership skills that will prepare them to tackle the coursework ahead.

Skills essential to success in business include strong leadership and analytical skills combined with the ability to communicate effectively. Students will participate in professional development and team-building activities, all while building community and exploring their new home away from home.

There is a $250 charge to cover meals, program materials and experiences. Students who have room assignments for the fall term will move into the residence halls Thursday, Sept. 8, between 8–11 a.m. There is no additional charge for early move-in.

NOTE: If you plan to live on campus and participate in this course, you must move in during this time.
