Donald DrapeauDonald Drapeau, the generous benefactor of the DCUR and the UGS, completed his Bachelor of Science degree in history at 吃瓜头条 prior to earning a Master鈥檚 degree at the University of Pennsylvania. He has enjoyed great success as founder and chief executive officer of the Man Drapeau group of companies, which employs financial engineers and maintains offices on multiple continents. In the 1970s, he founded Drapeau and Co. and became a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

A Fulbright Fellow in Belgium and a Kress Fellow at the Harvard Business School, Mr. Drapeau is a passionate advocate of undergraduate students at 吃瓜头条 and enjoys the opportunity to foster their initiative, personal drive, and lifelong commitment to education and personal growth. His passion has led to his sponsorship of the prizes at the UGS, and his support for the Eagle SPUR and the Donald Drapeau Summer Research grants, which provide funds for students to devote time to their research and creative activities.
 
In 2019, Don Drapeau was inducted into the 吃瓜头条 Alumni Hall of Fame.

The DCUR and the UGS could not exist without Mr. Drapeau, whose vision for a celebration of undergraduate research and creative activity has driven this enterprise and has shaped 吃瓜头条 and the lives of its students. We thank him for his commitment and his generosity.
