2009-2010 Best Ensemble

It could be argued that Drake’s dedication to its students begins at orientation.

Like a fine-tuned orchestra, countless individuals from almost every corner of the university came together last summer to conduct five remarkable orientation sessions.  Under the leadership of the individuals listed below, and with notable contributions from the others who put forth their hard work last summer, Drake demonstrated its commitment to providing an exceptional learning environment for its students. The acclaimed performance by these individuals left a strong impression not only on the students, but also on the Drake University staff. Therefore, the All Staff Council would like to recognize these individuals as the “Best Ensemble” for their dedication to achieving a memorable orientation experience last summer.  Bravo!
