The Office of Equity and Inclusion sponsors faculty and staff affinity groups. These groups provide opportunities for faculty and staff from underrepresented identities to get to know each other, socialize, and provide support for one another. Each affinity group hosts events twice a semester both on and off campus.
If you belong to one of the affinity group identities and are interested in joining, please contact the following champions.
Affinity Group | Champion | |
LGBTQ | Evan Favreau | evan.favreau@drake.edu |
Black/African American | Brandi Miller | brandi.miller@drake.edu |
Jewish | Lilianna Bernstein | lilianna.bernstein@drake.edu |
