This past academic year, 421 faculty and staff participated in at least one Bulldogs United in Learning & Development (BUILD) class. These classes assist individuals with learning a new skill, improving their well-being, or strengthening professional knowledge.

BUILD classes would not be possible without our wonderful presenters.  Human Resources would like to thank the following faculty and staff for leading one or more BUILD classes this past academic year:

Mallary Allan Dennis Belieu Hope Bibens Joe Bridgeman Matt Cooper Maureen De Armond Doreen Dixon Kristin Economos Catherine Gillespie Tiffany Hach Terry Janssen Bill Jensen Jorona Johnson Jessica Lang

Scott Law Meredith Luttrell Venessa Macro Samantha Matt Jennifer McCrickerd Matthew Mitchell Joseph Owens Jen Rasmussen Nate Reagen Hannah Remke Nanci Ross Christine Urish and OT students Gail Witte

Thank you to everyone on this list for your commitment to Drake and your willingness to share your expertise and time.

We are now in the process of planning for our 2024–2025 academic year.  If there are topics you would like to see covered in BUILD sessions next year or you would be interested in facilitating a BUILD class, we would like to hear from you.  Please take a moment to fill out this short Qualtrics survey with your suggestions or send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu.
