At Drury University, we proudly celebrate our Legacy Families—those students and alumni who share a generational bond through Drury.

We are especially honored to recognize our Third Generation Families, where a grandparent, parent, and grandchild have all continued the tradition of excellence by becoming part of the Drury community. These families embody the spirit, tradition, and lasting impact of a Drury education—building a legacy that spans generations.
