Four-day Media Now Drake is a hands-on learning experience with guest speakers, off-campus tours, an award ceremony and overnight camper activities throughout campus and the dorms. A good fit for those wanting to get intense training, produce hands-on tangible work, and add a layer of team bonding into the experience.
