This past year, Drake held a series of Did U Know classes that highlighted University departments and campus services.  Based on positive feedback, HR is bringing it back with new topics.

This year’s series is kicking off with Did U Know: University Archives on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 10 a.m. in Cowles Library, Room 201.

In University Archives you can find everything from the Ding Darling Collection and Tom Harkin Papers to unique items such as half a gold medal mounted on a plaque to commemorate the first gold medal won by a Drake athlete in an individual event at the Drake Relays.

The presenters, Claudia Frazer, archives director; Hope Bibens, University and political papers archivist; and Katherine Lincoln, archives associate, will cover what they do, what they have, and what they collect during this one-hour presentation. In addition, they will share some of their most interesting artifacts.

Participants will earn Bulldogs United in Learning Drake (BUILD) credits and be entered into a drawing at the end of the semester.

To register, email Linda Feiden at linda.feiden@drake.edu. Additional BUILD information, including an online registration form, will be available soon in myDrake. Click on the human resources app at the top of the page and the BUILD information can be found in the Learning & Development section.
