A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Graduates,
Congratulations on this tremendous accomplishment! On behalf of the
entire Drake community, I commend you on this culmination of your
academic achievements, and celebrate the beginning of a new stage in
your lives. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you into the esteemed
ranks of our alumni and send you forth into a world that is much in
need of your talents, leadership, and service.
I realize that your final weeks as a Drake student have been unusual
and challenging. While there is reason for angst, there is even more
that gives us hope. It is that spirit of hope—the drive to create positive
change in the world and the compassion to make a difference in the
lives of others—that defines what it means to be a Bulldog and, in many
ways, unites the Class of 2020.
Throughout your time at Drake, I have had the privilege to come to
know many of you. I have been inspired by your intellect, admired the
countless ways you serve, marveled at your talents on the stage, and
watched you compete on the court or field. I have no doubt you are
going to make this world a better place.
One of the most powerful things about this institution is its people. You
are joining a distinguished network of 74,000 alumni worldwide who are
devoted to making an impact, and now it is your turn. A Drake degree
sets you apart. It will propel and serve you for the rest of your life.
Congratulations to our newest alumni—go forth and make a difference.
Sincerely,
Marty Martin
President
