Drake's commitment to community engagement and service-learning is representative of our long-standing history of involvement and partnership with the Des Moines community. The commitment fulfills our historic mission, and enhances teaching, advising, research, scholarship, outreach, and the University community as a whole. As demonstrated by our inspiration statement, "Together we transform lives and strengthen communities", we seek to be an engaged university that prepares the next generation of civic minded professionals. Help us keep this pursuit alive and thriving with a financial gift!
