School of Journalism and Mass Communication Reunion

     

 


Online registration is now closed. Walk-up registrations are welcome.

As a graduate of Drake’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication, you may remember fast-paced days in The Times-Delphic newsroom or late nights spent in Meredith Hall finishing a capstone campaign.

You can probably still recall the thrill of capturing a record-setting finish for the Drake Relays broadcast or seeing your first article appear in Drake Magazine.
 
Don’t miss the chance to reminisce over these and other memories and return home for the Drake University School of Journalism and Mass Communication reunion.
