Bergetta Beardsley from the Food Bank of Iowa will be presenting a BUILD session at Drake to discuss hunger myths and how we can all play a role in helping our neighbors in need.  Learn the Food Bank of Iowa’s role and its relationship with supporting partners across 55 counties as well as locally in Polk County/Central Iowa.  This session will be held Tuesday, April 7, from 2–3 p.m. in the Olmsted Center, Conference Room 310/311.

To register for this class, and any other upcoming BUILD classes or tours, there is an online registration link to a Qualtrics survey.

BUILD is a great platform for learning new ideas as well as an opportunity to collaborate with others from across campus.

Please send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu with any questions.

As part of Employee Appreciation Month, Human Resources encouraged everyone to submit a shout-out for a faculty, staff, or student employee.  This is a great way to recognize others.

Thank-you to everyone who took time to thoughtfully submit one or more shout-outs.  You certainly shared your “Generosity of Spirit”!  The complete list of shout-outs, highlighting the best in us, can be found on the Human Resources Employee Recognition Page on myDrake, under “SHOUT-OUTS”.

We hope you continue to find ways to show your appreciation to staff, faculty, and student employees across campus.  Sharing positive energy is contagious.  When you look for the good in people, you strengthen relationships, improving both their lives and your own.
