DREXEL ALERT

Drexel University’s emergency notification system that enables fast and efficient dissemination of critical information to students, faculty and staff of the Drexel University community.

DREXEL GUARDIAN

Turn your cell phone into a personalized blue light emergency phone. In the event of an emergency, Drexel Guardian allows the Drexel Public Safety Communications Center to immediately access important information about you, such as your name, photograph, important medical information, and location, when you call 267.298.1442 or use the app on your cell phone — dramatically increasing the odds that they can find you and help you. The service is free and voluntary, and the information you provide is kept completely confidential. 

LOST AND FOUND

Dornsife does not maintain a lost and found. All lost items will be turned in to Public Safety. If you’ve lost something on campus, it may have been turned into Public Safety, the Creese Student Center Information Desk Lost and Found, or the Library Lost and Found.

Philadelphia Sexual Assault Response Center

Philadelphia Sexual Assault Response Center (PSARC) works in affiliation with Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit to provide 24/7 access to medical care and forensic examinations to victims of sexual assault.

PUBLIC SAFETY AND DREXEL POLICE DEPARTMENT

Police and security forces provide a highly visible presence around the clock in buildings and public spaces. The Department offers safety and awareness trainings and resources to members of the Drexel community. Drexel Police are trained in first aid, CPR and the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Additionally, Drexel Police off several free safety programs, including bike and computer registration and the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) program.

Violence Prevention & Response

Those experiencing any form of sexual or gender-based abuse or violence may seek help and guidance from resources at the University, local and national level. Additionally, there are several resources available to students, faculty, and staff to identify warning signs of abuse and to provide safety advice.
