The Office of Alumni Relations reaffirms Drake’s commitment to diversity by recognizing and nurturing different identities. In 2020, we committed to fostering community between our diverse students and alumni. This week Alumni Relations will host two receptions to welcome our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC students to campus for another great year! These welcome receptions serve to create community among diverse students, alumni, faculty, and staff. For students, this is an opportunity to meet individuals like you who have been where you are. And of course, there will also be refreshments!

On Tuesday, Sept. 20 from 6:30–9 p.m., we welcome all LGBTQ+ students, alumni, and faculty/staff to the Alumni House (2700 University Ave) for Rainbow Welcome, and then on Thursday, Sept. 22, from 6:30–9 p.m., we welcome all BIPOC students, alumni, and faculty/staff to the Alumni House for the BIPOC Student/Alumni Welcome.
