Celebrating Diversity

Let’s celebrate! We have just welcomed the most racially and ethnically diverse entering first year class in Drake’s history. Twenty-nine percent of incoming Bulldogs are students of color and/or international students. Diversity is foundational to a truly outstanding learning environment. And, one measure of our resourced commitment to DEIJ is reflected in the numbers that show an increase in diversity every year since 2015.
