For the third consecutive year, Drake is proud to host 25 Mandela Washington Fellows for six weeks of Drake University and metro-community engagement. The fellows arrived June 20 and will return to their home nations in sub-Saharan Africa in early August. An official reception to welcome the fellows will take place today, June 26, from 4 to 5:15 p.m. in Levitt Hall. The reception is hosted by Provost Sue Mattison. Faculty, staff, and the greater Drake community are invited to attend—all are welcome. Please come and meet these incredible young leaders who have traveled to Des Moines to engage with our community.
