Drake is proud to again host 25 Mandela Washington Fellows for six weeks of Drake and metro community engagement. The Fellows arrive mid-June and return to their home nations in sub-Saharan Africa in early August. Our official “Welcome to Drake” reception will be hosted by Provost Sue Mattison. The greater Drake community, along with our partners are invited to attend—all are welcome. Please come and meet these incredible young leaders who have traveled to Des Moines to engage with our community!

When: Monday, June 19
Time: 4–5:30 p.m.
Where: Cowles Library, Reading Room
