Drake’s chapter of the American Marketing Association brought Powerade Power Water to the farmers’ market for product sampling.

Senior Ava Sendelbach sells handmade crafts at the farmers’ market, which took place on the Friday of Family Weekend, as well as postcards featuring photos taken by her friend who is studying abroad.

“I love seeing all the parents… They’re coming in, saying hi, checking things out,” Sendelbach said.

Senior Kira Schall, the Drake Office of Community Engaged Learning and Service’s Fitz food security lead, represents IMPACT Community Action Partnership at the farmers’ market. Students can receive food assistance and volunteer through IMPACT. Walls began Student Senate collaboration initiatives with CEL, and Schall says Nelson reached out this year to continue that work.

Pari Hotak and her daughter Humaira, refugees from Afghanistan, sell homemade naan komach, baklava, basbousa and black tea. Women of the World, an initiative from Des Moines Refugee Support, helps women bakers with ingredients, packaging and logistics to sell their goods.

“They keep all of the proceeds to help support their families because the women often have greater barriers to employment,” said Diane Jones, a volunteer with DMRS.

Sitting at a table on the Aliber lawn, senior Reese Modugno sells postcards, prints and proofs of her artwork.

Students order from local business Nisha’s Soul Food at the market.

1. A community member in the audience at the Sept. 23 Varsity Cinema screening of the 2025 adaptation “Jury of Her Peers,” stands up to ask a question during the discussion with cast and crew members of the production. “Is it possible that I saw a theater production adaptation of this script … in 1978 at the Alaska Community Theater Competition?” one individual in the audience asked. “Yeah,” filmmaker William Rock said in response, “So the actual murder happened in 1900. Susan Glasspell was a fresh graduate of Drake University and was a reporter. … She ended up moving out to the East Coast, to the Boston area, and became a playwright. And in 1916, she wrote a one-act play called “Trifles,” based on her experience covering the murder trial.” 

1. Community members in the audience look to the front of the theater, as production team members of the 2025 adaptation “Jury of Her Peers” present in an open discussion panel after the film’s showing. The Sept. 23 screening event at Varsity Cinema was organized as a part of Drake University English department’s Susan Glaspell Writers & Critics series, “made possible by Dean Schrock, a descendant of Glasspell’s,” Professor of English Carol Spaulding-Kruse said in the opening remarks. “We’re grateful to Dean and the Schrock family for their continuing support, and to the Varsity Cinema, a community gem, for partnering with us in this beautiful place.” 

1. William Rock speaks to the audience at the Sept. 23 Varsity Cinema screening of his  adaptation “Jury of Her Peers.” Looking on are composer Aleksandra Nagorna, actresses Stephanie Schneider and Cheyenne Goode, and producer Amy Nigg. The adapted film is based on Drake graduate and Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Susan Glaspell’s short story and screenplay, based on a real murder she covered as a reporter. “The message and the themes, if not necessarily the exact, a lot of [Glaspell’s] words are in here
