The 2022 Baum Symposium will be comprised of a series of workshops focused on helping Drake faculty and staff respond ethically and compassionately to the shifts in higher education as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and demographic trends in our student body.

Featured speaker Cathy Davidson, the author of The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux, will speak virtually, on Wednesday, May 4, at 7 pm. This keynote will kick off an entire month of programming meant to help our faculty and staff address the ethical imperative of meeting our students where they are—emotionally, intellectually, and socially.

Register at Eventbrite. Zoom links will be sent to registered participants prior to the event.
