Community Spotlight: Where are they now?
|
Meet 20-year-old Archie Williams alumna, Emma Burke. After applying to the scholarship foundation with information about her extracurricular activities, academic achievements and career goals, Emma was thrilled to receive a scholarship to assist with her tuition at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her original plan was to study biology and do genetic research or plant science. Once at UCSB, Emma felt the urgency of mitigating the climate crisis and decided to switch majors. Now in her third year of school, she has worked at a variety of environmental internships and is currently planning to volunteer at a non-profit urban farm in Santa Barbara.

Community Spotlight: Class of '72!
|
We thank the class of 1972 for sponsoring the Drake Alumni & Community scholarship with proceeds from their 50th reunion this year! They encourage other classes to make similar, impactful donations. “All of us feel students who want to continue their education should have the opportunity to do so. Fifty years ago, college-level education was much less expensive and more accessible. Today, we recognize that financial assistance can make a big difference and we are happy to help in this modest way,” said Roger Smith, class of ‘72. Thank you!
