Drury took extraordinary measures to hold in-person classes in 2020-21 to best serve the needs of students. DU was one of just a handful of universities in the U.S. to pull this off, thanks to the care and commitment of campus. While it wasn't easy, students say it was worth it.

It's Freshman First Day! Dr. Julian's college advice:
1. Engage!
2. Become a person of good character. Treat others well. Get to know someone who's not like you.
3. Find something that you love to do. Learn to do it really well. When you graduate, you can get paid to do it.
