Giving a shout-out is a great way to recognize your colleagues for their hard work, talent, support, and creativity, and it can simply brighten their day. 

As part of Employee Appreciation Month in March, Human Resources is encouraging every employee—faculty, staff, and student workers—to submit “shout-outs” for deserving colleagues.

Giving a shout-out is quick and easy—simply write a sentence or two thanking a colleague or team for a job well-done, going the extra mile, or showing support during another challenging year. Submit your shout-outs to Linda Feiden at linda.feiden@drake.edu. Shout outs will be compiled and posted in OnCampus.

To help you get started, here is a shout-out I would like to give:

“A shout-out to the All Staff Council: Thank-you for your ongoing efforts in finding ways to support staff both on campus and remotely. You truly live Drake’s core values of Joyful Accountability, Generosity of Spirit, All in This Together, and Commitment to Mission. I appreciate everything you do!” — Linda Feiden

Please take a few minutes to submit a shout-out and show your gratitude for our amazing colleagues!

— Linda Feiden, Human Resources
