DES MOINES, Iowa – Drake University football student-athletes are traveling to the Republic of Panama this month to participate in a unique study abroad opportunity as part of a three-credit travel seminar called Panama and the Global Economy—designed in partnership with Drake's Zimpleman College of Business. While there from May 20 to 31, they'll also take to the gridiron to play a special preseason game against an all-star team assembled by the American Football Federation of Panama and the Kiwanis Football League.
Through deepening relationships with local partner organizations and prominent alumni, as well as expanding programming in Panama, the University seeks to continue its work in establishing Panama as a global outpost for Drake.
