In many conversations, Angela L. Walker Franklin, Ph.D., president and CEO of Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences, has mentioned her favorite thing about DMU’s new campus is the windows. The expansive windows are a standout feature that create a transparent, open environment. The windows also allow the community to witness innovation and education in action. Simultaneously, they offer unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape, enabling students and faculty to feel integrated with the natural environment around them. We asked students to share some of their favorite spots on campus.
