Drury University recently hosted its Leadership Societies Dinner, celebrating the generosity and impact of members of the Drury Society, Founder’s Society, and President’s Society. The Drury Society honors donors whose lifetime giving totals $100,000 or more; the Founder’s Society recognizes those who have made a planned gift to Drury through their estate, insurance, or other legacy commitments; and the President’s Society celebrates annual donors who contribute $2,500 or more in the previous fiscal year. Student speaker Savannah Belko shared how Drury’s donors have profoundly shaped her student experience and the lives of countless others.

Drury’s Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) hosted their annual Trunk or Treat in the O’Reilly Family Event Center on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. The event was open to the public and was attended by close to 200 guests.  Drury athletes from each of our 30 athletic teams set up game stations, passed out candy, and enjoyed teaching the visiting kids about their respective sports. This is a fun community outreach event for both our Drury athletes and our visitors and continues to grow each year.

Built in 1966 and originally named Smith Hall, Lydy Suites received a much needed facelift in 2024. The newly remodeled and refurbished building currently houses more than 150 students in traditional suite-style arrangements. It is also the only residential building with a community kitchen.
