About this Issue: Campus

What does campus mean in a changing world — where learning happens both face-to-face and through a screen, where connection stretches from Springfield to cities across the globe? In this issue, Drury Magazine delves into the heart of campus. You’ll meet students and alumni who keep Drury’s spirit alive through leadership, tradition, and lifelong connection — from the voices shaping student life today to the generations who grew up within walking distance of Drury’s 90 acres. Across every story, one truth endures: Even as classrooms evolve, the sense of belonging that defines Drury remains rooted in place, purpose, and people.
