distinctlyDrake heads West - Drake University Newsroom

While enjoying the pink and orange sunset over Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona, Drake University alumni and friends celebrated their Drake connections and the progress of distinctlyDrake. The gathering at the Phoenician Resort, which took place March 18, is one of several distinctlyDrake events that will happen across the country over the next few years.

The purpose of these events is to bring people together to learn about the ambitious plan through which Drake University will realize its vision for the future — to be, and be recognized as, one of the best institutions of higher education in the country.

Diane Caldbeck, Drake University associate vice president, alumni and development, shares stories with Mac Bohlman, BN’57.

Bill Drury, LA’73, LW’77, Drake University Board of Trustees member, enjoys the evening with his son in-law and Pro Bowl kicker for the Baltimore Ravens Billy Cundiff, AS’03, daughter Nicole Drury Cundiff, BN’02, and Sandy Hatfield Clubb, Drake University athletic director.

Guests listen to Drake University President David Maxwell.

Photos from the Drake University campus were interspersed throughout the beautiful grounds of the Phoenician Resort.
