10th Annual Global Night of Networking (GNN)

GNN is turning 10! In honor of this milestone year, we’re extending GNN to a week of virtual events that highlight the power of the Drexel connection, from global networking receptions to our first ever virtual InSites event with industry leaders.

For the past decade, GNN has been a celebrated alumni tradition that has made a lasting impact on the Drexel community. It has united thousands of Dragons from around the world in cities small and large, served as a catalyst for networking and career development, fostered meaningful connections between Dragons across industries, and instilled a renewed sense of Drexel pride.

While this year’s (virtual) location might look a little different, there’s still much to look forward to at GNN! Check out the full calendar listing below and register today.
