The Faculty/Staff $5 Appreciation Lunch hosted by Sodexo was held on Wednesday, Nov. 9. The All Staff Council Recognition Committee held a raffle in connection with the event to help encourage staff to attend and to let them know that they are appreciated for all of their work on campus. More than 80 staff members participated in the raffle, and five were drawn to win various Drake items: Tom Heger, Facilities; Joseph Bedwell, ITS; Susan Dittmer, Law; Craig Blaker, ITS; and Linda Judd, Ray Society. Prizes were donated by the Drake University Bookstore.

A big thank you to everyone! We love the staff at Drake and recognize that, without you, things would not run as smoothly as they do.

Keep an eye out for next semester’s Faculty/Staff Appreciation Lunches in Hubbell, and we’ll see you there.
