Explore our Student Clubs & Organizations

The College of Arts & Sciences offers a wide range of student clubs and organizations that support academic exploration, creative expression, and community engagement. These groups connect students with shared interests across the sciences, humanities, and social sciences while providing opportunities to collaborate outside the classroom, develop leadership skills, and deepen their academic experience at Drake.

Artists' Advocacy Association hopes to continue raising funds and awareness of issues that directly impact our community. We hope the art and information we share have a lasting impact on the Drake and Des Moines community. Using the power of art, the Artists' Advocacy Association strives to innovate and encourage accessible practices in theatrical and artistic spaces. We acknowledge and value the importance of listening and learning with empathy to create inclusive, diverse, and collaborative artistry as a path for meaningful change.

Periphery is the annual, student-produced art and literary journal at Drake University. Periphery is committed to showcasing high-quality work by undergraduate students that is deemed “on the periphery”. We focus heavily on works that don’t fit standard conventional categories or defined boundaries. The journal encompasses short fiction, poetry, art, and everything in between. With this journal, our staff hopes to showcase talented undergraduate writers and artists and to defy conventional norms.
