Drake faculty and staff who exemplify the Core Value of Commitment to Mission will be recognized at the next Provost’s Drake Social on Tuesday, March 10, from 4–6 p.m. at Cowles Library Reading Room. The social will be preceded by a town hall with President Martin at 3:30 p.m. Trivia Night, hosted by All Staff Council, will begin at 4:45 p.m.

To nominate a colleague who demonstrates Commitment to Mission, please use the Qualtrics form at http://drake.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eyQjH9nLSaWziy9. You can nominate up to five colleagues on each form. Feel free to fill out multiple forms. All those nominated will be recognized on a rolling display.

How do we define Commitment to Mission at Drake? We look for colleagues who are united in service to our students and communities, and who are optimistic about our future, and act with integrity and purpose as we deliver on our mission. When you nominate colleagues, be prepared to describe how each colleague meets these descriptions. From among those nominated, several will be chosen at random for prizes.

Trivia Night
All Staff Council will host a Trivia Night beginning at 4:45 pm. Trivia teams will register on site at the social. Trivia teams are limited to five people. There will be raffle prizes awarded between rounds with a grand prize to the winning team. If you feel so inclined, please bring non-perishable foods and items for Drake’s Little Pantry Initiative. For any questions regarding Trivia Night, please contact ascspecialevents@drake.edu.

Refreshments at the social will include wine, beer, soft drinks, and light snacks. This is a family friendly event.
