This year, Drake University will be walking as a group in the Des Moines Pride Parade on Sunday, June 9. Faculty, staff, and students are invited to participate as we show support for the LGBTQ+ community and our pride in Drake University. All participants should meet at the Lucas State Office Building on 321 E. 12th Street (east of the Capitol) at 11 a.m. The parade will start at noon. Wear Drake apparel (Drake blue if possible). Drake will provide Drake Pride pins and beads for the parade. (The parade route is about a mile long and runs west on Grand Ave., from East 12th to East 2nd.)

RSVP here.
