During the academic year, 175 faculty and staff participated in at least one Bulldogs United In Learning Drake (BUILD) session and many attended multiple classes. Congratulations to the following individuals for completing at least eight hours of BUILD class credit. This shows a true commitment to learning.

Level 1 (8 – 11 credit hours): Sandra Alvarez-Herrera, Donna Blunck, Sonja Brightwell, Doris Brunnette, Mindy Clem, Merrie Frentress, Victoria Haugen, Marlene Heuertz, Sara Hughes, Sharon (Cookie) Moran, Pam Smith, Shari Tenney, Valerie Thacker, Sofia Turnbull, and Drinda Williams.

Level 2 (12 – 15 credit hours): Chris Ditter, Linda Feiden, Caron Findlay, Sheila Goodwin, Kris Magill, Diana Newman, and Debra Wiley.

Two names were randomly drawn from those who attended at least one class. The winners are Drinda Williams and Pam Smith. Each will receive an email with a link to a catalog where they may select a prize of their choice.

BUILD sessions are available to all faculty and staff. These sessions, lasting from one to three hours, assist individuals with learning a new skill, improving health, or strengthening professional knowledge.

If you have suggestions for sessions for the 2018-2019 BUILD program or would like additional information, please contact Human Resources at drakehr@drake.edu. The BUILD program will resume this fall. Watch the HR Monthly Minute and OnCampus for the registration announcement.
