Check Out Who’s Backstage

This summer, Drake Cooper is welcoming ten fresh faces to the newly-restructured Backstage Pass Program. The program is designed to encourage idea collaboration between students from backgrounds in advertising, graphic design, public relations, management and more. Armed with creative ideas and fueled by ridiculous amounts of coffee, this young talent is ready to get real-world experience by working on assignments for clients in a mock scenario. Please join us in welcoming the new summer additions to Drake Cooper.
