John Drinko was the 23rd lawyer hired by Joseph Hostetler at BakerHostetler. He served as the firm’s Managing Partner from 1969-1975 and 1978-1985. He endowed 15 faculty chairs at a number of schools and, because of his generosity, his name appears on several college buildings, including Drinko Recital Hall in CSU’s Music and Communication Building. In 1989, John Drinko generously established the first endowed chaired professorship at CSU|LAW to support the Joseph C. Hostetler-BakerHostetler Chair in Law, to be held by the law school’s Dean.
