Start your morning in the best possible way. On Friday, April 14, first graders from Findley Elementary School will be visiting campus. Join us at the south entrance of Cowles Library to form a welcome tunnel from the sidewalk to the door at 9:30 a.m. (Students should be arriving between 9:30–9:40 a.m.). It will only take 10 minutes of your time, yet it will leave a lasting impact on the students. If you can wear your favorite Drake gear, even better.

Drake University has adopted the Findley Elementary School first-grade class and it is a special occasion to have them visit Drake each spring! The students will have a chance to hear from student leaders, go on a “bulldog scavenger hunt,” participate in learning activities with a health sciences class, and do drills with the football team. Thanks to all of those who are involved in making this a special day. Let’s give them the best Bulldog welcome!
