Celebrating the Class of 2025

One-Hundred and Twenty-Fifth Annual Commencement Ceremony

The Board of Trustees, faculty, staff and students of Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences are pleased to celebrate with you this one hundred and twenty-fifth Commencement Ceremony. Our academic traditions date back to our founding in 1898 and to the awarding of degrees to the first class of eight in 1899. Our students carry on those distinguished traditions. Amid life’s uncertainties, challenges and changes, including a global pandemic, members of the Class of 2025 have fulfilled their commitment to pursuing careers of service to others.

DMU is incredibly proud of our graduates and grateful that they are joining the highly competent, compassionate health professionals our alumni represent.
