Three Drake students were selected for initiatives to support civic engagement this spring in partnership with Campus Compact.

Jazlin Coley, a junior marketing and public relations double major, and Maddy Stokes, a senior marketing major, have been selected as Principal Community Scholars for the Spring 2018 semester.

The Principal Community Scholars program is designed to encourage student leadership in order to meet community needs. Coley will develop a neighborhood walking tour to inform Drake students of the assets of the neighborhood, and Stokes will enhance tools and processes for tracking community engagement and community partnerships across Drake. Upon completion of the projects, the scholars will receive a $1,000 scholarship from Principal.

In addition, Samantha Bayne, a sophomore political science; law, politics and society; and philosophy triple major, was selected as an Iowa Campus Compact intern focusing on election engagement on college campuses across the state of Iowa.

Congratulations to these three students!
