Just recently, Drake snagged the Presidential Medal of Merit from the Republic of Kosovo in 2025. That’s no campus plaque—it’s an honor from a nation recognizing Drake’s seven-year partnership, academic collaborations, and impact in Kosovo. It emphasizes how Drake’s reach isn’t just local—it’s global, with real-world diplomatic and educational ties.
Drake ran its most ambitious campaign ever—“The Ones: Campaign for the Brave & Bold.” While launched earlier, its crowning moment was in 2024, surpassing a $225 million goal by more than $40 million—tying it to $265 million in total. That kind of generosity rippled into scholarships, new institutes (like the Ron & Jane Olson Institute for Public Democracy), athletic facilities (Mediacom Stadium), and a refurbished Morehouse into the Johansen Student Center. It was a transformational win for the institution.
In 2015, Drake earned the Carnegie Foundation’s Community Engagement Classification—a national recognition held by just a few hundred institutions. It says one thing: Drake isn’t just teaching inside its walls; it's connected, serving, and actively engaging in its broader community. That classification isn’t easy to get—it reflects sustained civic partnership, service learning, and socially engaged leadership
