2021 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS

Dear Alumni and Friends,

D RA KE LAW MISS ION S TAT E M E N T Drake Law School prepares graduates to promote justice, serve their communities, and uphold the ideals of ethics and professionalism.

We cultivate critical thinking and professional skills, provide opportunities to acquire global perspectives, and engage in public service.

We foster an exceptional learning environment in a welcoming and inclusive community distinguished by accessible and accomplished faculty and staff and a collegial student body.

When the 2020-21 academic year began, we at Drake Law braced for an extraordinary time in which to teach and to learn. Our faculty, staff and students all came through a difficult year with the grace and tenacity that enabled us to not only survive, but thrive. In March, U.S. News and World Report ranked Drake Law #102 in the country, our highest placement ever.

Our legal writing program was ranked #9, tied with Georgetown University.

The Drake Law Review was ranked in the Top 30 law journals for influence on the courts, and National Jurists’s preLaw Magazine listed Drake as one of the Best Law Schools for Practical Training. With our academic programs on solid ground, we looked to you to secure the funds on which we rely to be fiscally sound.

In the midst of uncertainty, you gave your financial support to the work we do at an unprecedented level. For only the second time in our history, the law school’s annual fund eclipsed the $500,000 mark, exceeding our goal, which allowed us to not only provide our students with the extra resources the pandemic required, but also to strengthen our financial position as we look toward the future.

This year, helping ensure we continue on this upward trajectory, Drake University and the Law School begin the first public phase of a comprehensive campaign: The Ones — Drake’s Campaign for the Brave & Bold. While the focus of that effort will be on growing our endowment, which provides a permanent foundation for our future, all gifts to the annual fund will also count in measuring the success of our effort. When the time comes for you to renew your annual fund gift, I hope you will do so knowing that your contributions help us in both the short and long-term. Like any highquality academic program, our ability to recruit the best students and create excellent educational opportunities relies on a steady flow of resources.

I sincerely thank every one of you who was a part of this historical year at Drake Law. Your generosity and investment in our students are essential to our success and, when the situation calls for it, our adaptation to meet new challenges. I look forward to partnering with you again in the year ahead to take Drake Law to new heights.

With gratitude,

Jerry L. Anderson Dean and Richard M. and Anita Calkins Distinguished Professor of Law 2

Letter from the President of the Board of Counselors Dear Drake Law Alumni, It is my pleasure to serve as President of the Board of Counselors, the advisory leadership group at Drake Law. On behalf of the entire Board, I wish to offer my thanks to every member of our alumni community who contributed to the incredible fundraising success of the law school during the last year. I echo Dean Anderson’s sentiments that you are a critical part of our ability to move forward, to reach higher, and to provide the best education possible to our students.

As a new academic year began this fall, we welcomed another highly qualified first-year class to campus. Despite the lingering protocols, these students joined their peers ready to challenge themselves to learn and excel in an environment most of us would never have contemplated. I know that our support makes a difference in their Drake Law experience, and can turn something special into something truly extraordinary.

Beyond the value of your financial support, I hope you will find additional ways to engage at Drake, perhaps as a mentor, a career contact, or just an ear with a shared perspective on the stress of navigating law school.

Drake Law alumni number more than 6,500 strong. Let’s see what we can do, together.

Thank you again for your support of our alma mater. You are the ones ensuring a bright future for Drake Law School.

Sincerely yours,

Tye J. Klooster, LW’03

Letter from the Chair of the Drake Law Recent Alumni Engagement Board Dear Fellow Alumni and Friends, On behalf of the Drake Law Recent Alumni Engagement Board, thank you for your continued support of the law school. This group is in our second year of existence and has worked hard to increase engagement among Drake’s alumni who have graduated in the last 15 years. Like everyone else, we’ve had to adapt to a virtual environment during the pandemic but have capitalized on opportunities to reach alumni from all over the country.

Some events, like our virtual trivia night, have been so successful that we plan to hold them annually, even when it’s safe to meet in person again.

Our Board consists of 21 Drake Law alumni from diverse professional backgrounds and geographic locations. Our goal is to plan a variety of events and initiatives to keep our classmates involved with and connected to Drake. The Board is divided into two committees, Events and Giving.

The Events Committee is focused on planning social, networking, and CLE events and the Giving Committee is exploring ways for recent alumni to contribute their time, talents, and treasure to Drake Law School. As this is still a new Board, we’re very open to ideas on how to make this happen and would love to hear from recent alumni about what we can do to keep you engaged with our alma mater.

Check us out online by visiting our website (drake.edu/law/alumni/ recentalumniboard). You can also follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn by searching for the Drake Law Recent Alumni Engagement Board.

L AW H O N O R R O L L | D R A K E U N I V E R S I T Y

We will be accepting nominations in the spring for five spots on the Board to replace members whose terms will end June 30, 2022. If you have interest in joining us or have ideas for the group, please reach out to me at 515-345-4630 or Maggie.E.White@emcins.com. I’d love to chat and get your feedback on how we can best serve Drake’s newest alumni.
