The Mid-American Business Deans Association has recognized the College of Business and Public Administrations’s Honor Roll for Social Impact with first place in its 2022 Innovation in Business Education Award in the New Ways to Achieve Student Engagement track. Dean Hernandez attended the association’s conference in Chicago to accept the award on behalf of the students, faculty, and staff who have made community service a priority at Drake.

As noted in the submission that generated this award: “To encourage, recognize, and celebrate the development of a social impact mindset and related service work, Drake University’s College of Business and Public Administration developed the CBPA Dean’s Honor Roll for Social Impact.” For a glimpse into the impact students are making across campus, see our group on DUgood, Drake’s online community engagement platform.
