All Staff Council invites you to take part in Paul Morrison Spruce Up Day Saturday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Participants should meet in the Harkin parking lot at 28th Street and University Avenue.
Sign up to participate.
Paul Morrison, a beloved member of the Drake family, had a tradition of picking up trash in the Drake neighborhood. Every day, throughout his life, when Paul walked to and from campus and through his neighborhood, he would stop and pick up any piece of trash he saw. This was a part of his commitment to making Drake a better place for everyone. Paul is also known for his love of the Drake Relays and his commitment to always making it better for those who came after him. To honor his legacy and share his story, Drake Student Alumni Association, the Drake National Alumni Scholars, and the Drake Neighborhood Association will host Paul Morrison Spruce-Up Day. This event combines Paul’s love for the Relays, and his tradition of picking up trash around campus and the neighborhood. At this event, neighbors and students will remember Paul’s Legacy while sprucing up our neighborhood. A snack and all supplies will be provided. Special guests may be present!
If you cannot join in person, you can participate virtually by using #paulmorrisonday to share images on social media of how you are continuing Paul’s legacy. You can still sign up to be entered in a drawing for prizes!
