I’m talking about the light at the end of their DMU tunnel: A week ago, DMU graduates and their families and friends reveled at the annual campus picnic in celebration of Saturday’s commencement. We talked with some of the happy grads about their plans, their favorite DMU memories and their advice for new DMU students.

This weekend is the annual PrideFest here in Des Moines. The event celebrates the importance of gay culture in the Midwest through various activities including a Pride Scavenger Hunt on Friday night, Street Party Saturday night with live music, competitions and entertainment, and concludes with a pancake breakfast and parade on Sunday morning.
Over the past couple of months, we here at DMU have opened up the dialogue of diversity as it pertains to the GLBTQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer) community here on campus. In our efforts to create a more harmonious environment for all students, staff and faculty, a training session was set up for those who wished to be involved. Safe Zone attracted over 120 participants and was a great first step in recognizing and supporting the GLBTQ community here at DMU.

I know spring break fever is probably hitting folks about now while the sky is gray and and the grass is brown. Sometimes just putting your feet up in a different place helps clear your head and refreshes you! It doesn’t have to be an extravagant trip or week-long excursion.
