Drake students: Build your personal habits and leadership skills this year through the Adams Leadership Institute.
What is it?
The Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute (DVALI) is a leadership training program offered to all undergraduate students at Drake University. Students who apply and are admitted to the Institute are given access to personalized leadership training, co-curricular skill development, and career preparation that enhance their personal, academic, and professional lives. All students admitted to the Institute complete a three-part leadership training series, designed to equip students with self-awareness, collaboration, and perspective-talking skills that are immediately applicable to their personal relationships, academic coursework, campus activities, and professional goals. In addition, DVALI students participate in a variety of annual events and activities offered exclusively to students in the Institute. This co-curricular leadership opportunity is available to students from all academic disciplines and majors at no additional cost thanks to the generous support of Drake alumni and friends of Dr. Donald V. Adams, Professor Emeritus. A full description of the DVALI leadership training series can be found at drake.edu/leadershipinstitute. All three trainings meet weekly starting the fifth week of the semester and are offered every fall and spring semester.
How do I apply?
Apply online at bit.ly/DVALI19 by Sept. 15. Students accepted into the Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute will be notified by Sept. 20, with the opportunity to start the DVALI training series as early as the fall 2019 semester.

Throughout the fall semester, a number of political events will occur at Drake in anticipation of the 2020 Iowa caucuses. Organizations, including national media outlets, frequently employ Drake students on a short-term basis during their time on campus. Drake does not determine who will be hired for any specific event, but will provide interested students’ names and contact information based on the needs of the organization. If you are interested in working these events, please submit all relevant information online.

Scholarship information and opportunities session: Tuesday, Sept. 3, at 6:15 p.m. in the Drake Room located on the upper level of the Olmsted Center.
Do you want adventure, prestige, career opportunities? All these are possible with Truman (juniors) and Fulbright (seniors and above) scholarships. There is still time to find out about and apply for these wonderful scholarships/grants. The Fulbright application is due on Oct. 8 with a Drake campus due date of Sept. 20; and the Truman Scholarship is due at the beginning of November.
Come and find out more about these opportunities on Tuesday, Sept. 3, at 6:15 p.m. in upper Olmsted’s Drake Room.
Fulbrights are open to graduating seniors, and also to recent graduates who are not enrolled in a degree program at another school or university. They provide valuable international experience and funding for teaching English or working on projects or attending a graduate program in another country. Time is short as applications are due at Drake by the end of September, but there is still enough time to pursue certain Fulbrights such as English Teaching opportunities, so come to the information session and find out more.
Trumans are for enterprising juniors who are involved in U.S. government, politics, journalism or other meaningful community activities and who see a future in active community involvement. These scholarships are due in November, so there is still time to apply. These grants provide funding for graduate work in leadership and effective community involvement. Both Truman and Fulbright awards are nationally recognized scholarships and carry a lot of prestige. We hope you’ll attend the information session to find out more about these wonderful opportunities!
For additional information, contact Eleanor Zeff, scholarship advisor at Eleanor.zeff@drake.edu or stop by Meredith, Room 231.

The eduroam (education roaming) wireless network is replacing DUStudent on Friday, Sept. 13. You must log into eduroam using your Drake email address, rather than your Drake ID number. This ensures that your credentials are passed securely anywhere you connect to eduroam. Additionally, you should set your laptop/cellphone to forget the DUStudent network when you switch to using eduroam.
Learn more about eduroam at drake.edu/its/eduroam and start connecting to eduroam today to stay connected to the Drake network.

Students, the deadline to add a class has passed, so this is a good time for you to check your class schedule and review your academic profile in MyDrake.
Use the “My Course Schedule” link under the Classes & Registration section to view your class schedule.
Use the “My Academic Profile” link under the Student Records section to review your degree and major(s), your classification (sophomore, junior, senior, etc.), and other curricular information.
If you have any questions about your class schedule or academic profile, please contact your college/school dean’s office as soon as possible. If you are not sure to which college/school you belong, please email the Registrar’s Office at registrar@drake.edu.
Spending just a few minutes reviewing this information early in the semester may save you time and hassle at the semester’s end.
