Politics Day

Drake and Des Moines are the center of the political universe! High School Seniors and Transfer students are invited to attend Politics Day at Drake to learn from faculty, current students, and alumni about Drake's unique position in the political landscape. Prospective students will board a bus and venture off-campus for bipartisan site visits with current Drake students and recent alumni who are working in politics in Des Moines, such as campaign headquarters, media organizations, the Iowa House and Senate, state government agencies and/or consulting firms.

Politics Day begins at 1:00 PM; participating students may opt to begin their day at the earlier Saturday Visit Day program (beginning at 9:30 AM), which will include a Drake overview, student panel, campus tour, and lunch on campus, before diving into a politics-themed afternoon.
