Join us in Minneapolis for the Drake BSO Reunion 2025. Inspired by Terry Wrice after the profound loss of Drake classmate Terry Day, our tradition was born in 2014. Each year, we gather to honor our shared Drake University and Black Student Organization experience, create new memories, and forge new friendships.
