In 2018, when we announced the Purple & Proud Campaign, we said it was the start of "something big."
We are now pursuing a vision of something even bigger.
Purple & Proud is the campaign that continues to advance Des Moines University with the development of an entirely new campus and renewed institutional vision. That bold vision includes new and expanded programs, a new campus, and a wholly transformed model of health sciences education, training, research, and clinical services that will meet the needs of our faculty, students, and communities well into the future.
Join us. Invest in us. Advance with us.
