Welcome DMACC Friends

Hello everyone, welcome to the site...

This tribute site was created as a supplement to the article that was published in the Wednesday, April 23, 2008 edition of DMACC's Ankeny campus student newspaper, The Campus Chronicle (final issue of the spring semester).

This site contains exclusive online content, including extended retiree bios, pictures, special interviews of colleagues, students, friends... and more! This project will remain active for the remainder of the year, so please come back often to check out new content!

While you're here... take a moment to participate by sharing with our readers how much you appreciate the service and dedication of DMACC's 2008 retirees... post your comments! To leave your message, click on the "comments" link that appears at the bottom of each post.

President Denson's Address

Sentiments from DMACC's President...

DMACC is where it is today, so many students have been served so well, because of the complete dedication of all our faculty and staff.

Those who retire this year were among the ones who helped build our foundation of success that will sustain us well into the future.

It is difficult to see such good friends of DMACC retire, but we look forward to their continued involvement in our Pioneers Program and other activities. They will be missed and we encourage them to come back often.

We say thanks!

Robert Denson
President
Des Moines Area Community College
