Proposals for Learning Symposium due this week

Building Community is the theme of the Drake University 5th Annual Learning Symposium. The Symposium will be Friday, Aug. 18, and proposals for the event are due by this Wednesday, April 19, to Drinda Williams, drinda.williams@drake.edu .

This year’s symposium is intended to examine the many ways in which Drake can build an inclusive community internally, with those in the Des Moines community, and with our international partners. The Office of the Provost seeks proposals that feature how we might build and enhance the varied communities that are part of the Drake experience. Those working on proposals might consider including a community partner in their presentation.

Students: Use Bulldog Bucks for Uber

We want to give you as many choices as possible for getting around the Drake Neighborhood and exploring Des Moines. In addition to free rides on DART and the Safe Ride bus, and free access to the Drake Bike Library, you can now pay for Uber rides using your Bulldog Bucks!

Setup is easy:

1. Open the latest version of the Uber app.
2. Tap Payment, Add Payment, Campus Card, and Drake University.
3. Log in using your Drake ID and password, and you are ready to go!

This could be a great way to get around town during Relays week—feel free to add funds to your Bulldog Bucks online before you need them.

Reach out to the Student Services Center if you have any questions or run into issues adding this payment method.

—Sara Heijerman, Campus Card Office
