It's summer at Drake Athletics, which for our department means summer camps, planning for the fall, and time to rejuvenate. It's also a time for us to reflect on our last academic year as we make goals for next season. By all measures, our past academic year was a tremendous success. As I stated in a May email, we experienced great successes on the field of competition and in the classroom. Three ingredients are essential to sustaining excellence: people, culture, and resources. We have incredible student-athletes, coaches, and staff that have helped create high standards within their programs. In this note, I will focus on resource generation's role in allowing our student-athletes to pursue their dreams and providing our coaches and staff with the tools they need to take their programs to the next level.
