The Special Events/Community Service Committee develops and implements plans for special events on campus and creates awareness of community service opportunities available for staff participation.
The University Book Club will continue to meet virtually and in person (as is safely allowed) through the 21/22 academic year! We like to read 4 books together each year, usually scheduled for a casual discussion around the "breaks" during the year. This year, we are also adding 2 additional "toolkit for life" books in partnership with Human Resources!
Our books and meeting times for this year are listed below - please feel free to reach out to sara.heijerman@drake.edu, or dan.chibnall@drake.edu if you would like to participate in any of these discussions, or would like to join our email notification list!
