Drake faculty and staff who exemplify the core value of Joyful Accountability will be recognized at the next Provost’s Drake Social, Thursday, Oct. 17, from 4–6 p.m. at Shivers Hospitality Suite.

To nominate a colleague, please use our Qualtrics form. You can nominate up to five colleagues on each form. Feel free to fill out multiple forms. All those nominated will be recognized on a rolling display.

How do we define Joyful Accountability at Drake? We look for colleagues who are curious, creative, bold and brave, and for those who strive each day to do their best. When you nominate colleagues, be prepared to describe how each colleague meets these descriptions. From among those nominated, several will be chosen at random for prizes.

Refreshments will include wine, beer, soft drinks, and light snacks. This is a family friendly event.

The October Drake Social will be preceded by a Town Hall at 3:30 p.m. regarding the upcoming climate assessment survey.

All Staff Council is joining forces with the Provost’s Office to host Trivia at the Social, beginning at 4:45 pm. Trivia teams will register on site at the Social. Trivia teams are limited to 5 members with a total of 10 teams. There will be raffle prizes awarded between rounds with a grand prize awarded to the winning team! Participants can also sign up to win the annual parking pass giveaway. Don’t forget to bring non-perishable foods and items for Drake’s Little Pantry Initiative. Questions?
