About Us
Our Mission
Our Student Chapter focuses on fostering the next generation of undergraduate Asian American leaders. With events ranging from leadership training, ongoing resume and interview critiques to company visits as well as networking events, this volunteer-run chapter bring supplementary skills to students. Through joint events with other local chapters, Ascend Drexel Student Chapter provides students with additional ways to grow their career and network.
Although our organization is focused on bringing a voice to Asian American professionals, we encourage anyone, regardless of ethnic origin, to join the Ascend community.
