Win spooktacular treats and prizes from Bulldog Shop! We encourage students to visit us in-store on Halloween to play Drakula’s Halloween Hunt. Here’s how it works:
Find a Pumpkin: Drakula has hidden pumpkins throughout the store! Look carefully as you browse to spot one.
One Pumpkin Per Student: Head straight to the register once you find a pumpkin. Only one pumpkin is allowed per student, so choose wisely!
Reveal Your Prize: Drakula has packed each pumpkin with spooky surprises! At the register, the number in your pumpkin will reveal if you’ve won a special treat, discount, or mystery prize.
The hunt runs until all pumpkins are found or closing time, so mark your calendars!

Courageous Conversations
Saturday, November 9

In today’s politically charged environment, student leaders are navigating challenging conversations around differing beliefs, values, and ideas. How can we engage in dialogue that’s inclusive, respectful, and builds resilience — without silencing voices or causing harm?
Join us at the 2024 Sussman Leadership Conference to explore these questions. You’ll gain practical strategies to lead courageous conversations and fostering a culture of open, honest dialogue as a student leader.
Free for all Drake students – registration includes a gourmet brunch, Dr. Bowman’s keynote address, and interactive breakout sessions. If you register, we expect you to show up on time and stay for the entire event.
Space is limited! Reserve your seat by the November 5th deadline.
