The Drake Alumni Office is seeking alumni worldwide to help organize the annual Bulldog Bashes in their cities. These parties, typically held at pubs and restaurants, are fun, informal ways for Bulldogs to gather and get to know fellow alumni in their area. Below is a list of Bashes scheduled to date.
Want to be a Drake party planner? It’s simple to help organize a Bulldog Bash in your city (even one that isn’t listed below). Contact Bulldog Bash Central at bulldog.bash@drake.edu or 800-44-DRAKE, x2769, and the staff in Alumni and Development will explain the easy process of choosing a date, time and venue. Planning a Bulldog Bash will help you connect with other Drake Bulldogs in your area and relive your fondest collegiate memories no matter how far you have traveled since your Drake days!
