Between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1, ITS is holding a Phishing Derby, a contest where you can take a quiz to learn more about how to identify phishing emails and fraudulent websites. Taking the quiz enters you for a chance to win a Bluetooth speaker or headphones. Visit its.drake.edu/phish to enter starting tomorrow.

The goal of this contest is to empower campus to be able to keep both their personal data and our institutional data secure.

A fitness assessment is a valuable tool for evaluating your overall wellness. It is designed to evaluate health and fitness, including your current fitness level and risk for disease. Schedule your assessment by emailing wellness@drake.edu.

The Drake Phonathon provides a great opportunity for current students to connect with alumni while making a difference on campus. We provide flexible scheduling, as well as a career connection network to help students find the first job out of college.

As an employee, you would be expected to ask the prospects for a specific amount of money, update information, and foster good feelings with the prospect. Most of our work will be centered around fundraising for the school’s annual fund, which pays for all of the things students use on a daily basis, including computers & technology, library books, scholarships, and faculty enrichment.

It is a time commitment of three shifts a week. Shift times are Monday–Thursday, 5:30–9 p.m., and Sundays, either 1:30–5 p.m. or 5:30–9 p.m. Students are paid $7.25/hour the first month and then bumped up to $8.25/hour. Calling will take place in the Kinne Alumni and Development Center, which is located on the corner of University and 24th Street next to US Bank. Interested? Email Brian Estrem at brian.estrem@drake.edu.
