The Adams Leadership Award ceremony is an annual, campus-wide tradition to celebrate the achievements of student leaders and organizations at Drake University. Each spring we honor students and organizations who have made valuable contributions to the campus community through their outstanding commitment to leadership.

• Outstanding First Year Student
• Outstanding Residence Hall Leader
• Outstanding Equity and Inclusion Program
• Oreon E. Scott Outstanding Senior of the Year
• …and many more!
