Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute

Founded in 2000, the Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute (DVALI) has reached more than 7,000 students. The Adams Leadership Institute provides personalized leadership training for students across all majors. The Institute’s three-year educational series fosters self-awareness, collaboration, and perspective, which students apply to personal relationships, academic coursework, and their professional lives. These tangible leadership practices allow students to form an intentional community of leaders and create change on campus and throughout the community. Your generous contributions help us continue the legacy of Dr. Don Adams and promote student leadership for years to come. 

Help us celebrate Don Adams' 50 years at Drake with a gift that will be matched with up to $14,000 in matching funds!
