For the fourth summer in a row, Drake is hosting a cohort from the Mandela Washington Fellowship Institute, the flagship program of the U.S. Department of State’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI). Please join Provost Sue Mattison, CBPA, and Drake International at a welcome reception in Cowles Library Reading Room from 4–5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25.  We will be welcoming 25 young leaders from sub-Saharan Africa for a six-week intensive institute on business and entrepreneurship.  More info on YALI can be found here. We hope to see you there!
