Drake’s developing Core Values provide rich subject matter for Learning Symposium break-out sessions focused on trust, transparency, and communication. This year’s Drake Symposium theme is Building Trust: Leading the Conversation. Those who have attended campus presentations and engaged in conversations regarding the Core Values may already be thinking about how these might impact how we work together at Drake. The Learning Symposium is a great forum for developing our collective understanding of these Core Values and to think about next steps.

Proposals are now being accepted from faculty and staff for break-out sessions. Break-out sessions should be 45 minutes in length, and they may take a workshop or panel discussion approach. Proposals for poster displays are also being accepted. The deadline for proposal submissions is Wednesday, April 18.

The 2018 Learning Symposium will be Monday, Aug. 20, and this year, it will be held on campus at the Olmsted Center.

Please visit the 2018 Learning Symposium web page for addition information and proposal guidelines.
