2023 Learning Symposium

Office of the Provost

Drake's annual Learning Symposium will feature camaraderie, culture-building exercises, and a food truck lunch.

Parent's Hall, Olmsted

Please join us for the 2023 Learning Symposium on Thursday, Aug. 17. We are planning a day with ample opportunities to reflect and reconnect, to socialize with colleagues, to focus on our community, and to center ourselves for the year ahead. This year’s Drake Learning Symposium will allow faculty and staff to gather as one, bringing with us our unique and shared experiences, while focusing on our way forward as a community. At the Learning Symposium, we will dive into cultivating the skill sets behind effective communication, conflict management, empathy, resilience, and personal power through activities led by speaker Whitney Warne of Evoke EQ. Lunch will be provided by two food trucks; Mactopia and Bearded Jackal. A voucher for an entrée and beverage will be provided to all Symposium attendees. Vegetarian and gluten free options will be available.We are excited to offer this year’s Learning Symposium as a wonderful opportunity for building community. As with all campus events and activities, we ask managers to actively encourage their employees to consider attending—this applies to faculty and both hourly and salaried staff. Doors will open at 8:00 am for check-in and a light coffee reception, with a welcome from the Provost at 8:30.
