Please join us for the 2022 Learning Symposium on Thursday, Aug. 18.  We are planning a day with ample opportunities to reflect and reconnect, to socialize with colleagues we may not have seen in person in a while, and to center ourselves for the year ahead.

The Learning Symposium will be followed immediately by the Provost’s Drake Social from 3–5 p.m. at the Turner Jazz Center.

Please register for the Learning Symposium on Eventbrite. Those registered will receive a voucher for their lunch at the trucks.

We are excited to offer this year’s Learning Symposium in person. After the challenges of recent years, this is a wonderful opportunity for building and re-establishing community. As with all campus events and activities, we ask managers to actively encourage their employees to consider attending—this applies to faculty and both hourly and salaried staff.
