Faculty, staff, and students are invited to come together virtually at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, as the University shares bold, ambitious, and inspiring plans for its future. Faculty, staff, and students are the heart of this University, which is why we hope you will join us at drake.edu/nextgreatera to be a part of history with your fellow bulldogs.

There has never been a more important moment in Drake’s history to meet the challenges faced by our campus, our community, our country, and our world. 

The only way we can transform lives, strengthen communities, unite this nation, ignite the youth, and push society forward—is to do it together. We are the ones built for change.

We are the bulldogs. The devoted alumni, the dedicated friends, the driven faculty and staff, the diverse student body—the dynamic, connected, committed, and capable—redefining what a university does by reimagining what a university should be. We are a collective determining our own destiny.

Note: If you are unable to join on Oct. 28, the content will remain accessible at drake.edu/nextgreatera to view at a later date.
