Save the date for the 2018 Drake Learning Symposium on Monday, Aug. 20. This year the symposium for faculty and staff will be held at the Olmsted Center to make it easier for everyone to attend all or part of the event. The theme this year is Building Trust: Leading the Conversation. The keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Kathy Obear of the Center for Transformation and Change. Her topic will be Facilitating Difficult Dialogues. A call for proposals for break-out sessions will be going out in a few weeks. See the Learning Symposium web page for more details.
