Staff Appreciation Month is a great time to nominate a Drake staff member or team for a Called to be True Blue award. Those that are “True Blue” go above and beyond expectations to serve students, colleagues, and the Drake Community and possess these characteristics:

• Epitomizes the values of leadership, teamwork, and integrity, and exhibits their commitment to the Drake community.
• Has shown others what it takes to get a task or project done, and accomplishes that by working well with others.
• Is able to be honest and fair in the situations they face.
• Does all of these things for the betterment of Drake and its values and goals.

The All Staff Council Recognition Committee is accepting nominations using their online form.  True Blue honorees will be presented with a certificate, and those who receive a True Blue award prior to April 1 will be entered into this year’s Sapphire Award nomination and recognized at the annual Sapphire Awards event.
