On Tuesday, May 3, we will host our annual event to honor Drake employees having reached 20, 25, 30, or 35 years of service, and those who are retiring or have recently retired. Additionally, we will announce this year’s Madelyn M. Levitt Distinguished Community Service Award winner and the Madelyn M. Levitt Employee Excellence Award winners.

Please join us for light refreshments and a brief program in Parent’s Hall, Olmsted Center, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
