The LGBTQ+ Alumni Association will celebrate a decade of connection and community with an alumni with a reflection on more than 60 years of LGBTQ+ experiences at Drake. In a panel discussion about LGBTQ+ life at Drake throughout the decades, we'll celebrate all Drake experiences, from those who were proudly out on campus to those whose journeys unfolded later. Together, we’ll honor the Association’s beginnings at Drake Relays in 2016, share stories across generations, and celebrate the vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ community that continues to shape Drake.

Join us on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm at The Harkin Institute for Public Policy & Citizen Engagement (2800 University Ave, Des Moines, IA 50311). For questions or accomodations, please contact Drake's Office of Alumni Relations at alumni@drake.edu or (515) 271-3152.
