LGBTQ+ Alumni Association
The LGBTQ+ Alumni Association is a Drake University community of graduates who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. The goal of this Association is to connect and engage LGBTQ+ Alumni and support current and prospective students, faculty, and administrators at Drake by advocating for and practicing inclusivity and empowerment.
Events & Opportunities
Look for LGBTQ+ Alumni Association events and opportunities throughout the year, such as a reunion during Relays and participation in the Capital City Pride Parade in Des Moines, and the annual Rainbow Welcome in the fall for incoming and current LGBTQ+ students and allies as well as faculty and staff. An advisory council of alums collaborates with Drake University to present events and foster connections within the community.

Twin Cities LGBTQ+ Alumni Social
Join alumni and allies at the LGBTQ+ Social in the Twin Cities. It's our first social out of Des Moines and we'd love to have you there. Mix and mingle with alums of all eras who share your LGBTQ+ identity. We're so excited to host a social in the Twin Cities that the first 15 alumni get a free drink on us. See you there!
The Pride Alumni Fund
The Pride Alumni Fund is designed to support student's personal and professional development and contribute to a culture of LGBTQ+ education. Supporting the fund is an opportunity to ensure our students have an exceptional learning environment that prepares them for meaningful personal lives, professional accomplishments, and responsible global citizenship.
