The Office of Community Engaged Learning celebrates the collective work of the Drake campus and community over the past year. Students, faculty, staff, and community members worked together to learn, grow, and act. Volunteers recovered nearly 1,700 pounds of food that was delivered to local organizations and pantries; prairie plants and native trees were planted in the new Sprout Garden & Food Forest space, along with 350 pounds of food grown and donated; and 12 AmeriCorps members served more than 3,500 hours of service to the local community. And much more!
