WHO
Governor Kim Reynolds, UNI President Mark Nook, DMACC President Rob Denson and DMACC Urban Campus Provost Anne Howsare-Boyens will jointly announce a new agreement that brings the two institutions together to better serve Des Moines area students attending the DMACC Urban Campus and other DMACC metro sites. Project supporters and UNI Foundation Board members Dave and Mark Oman will also participate in the announcement.
WHAT
Negotiations between DMACC and UNI have been going on over the past year and pending Regents and DMACC Board approvals, will result in a new educational 2+2 partnership to better serve Des Moines area students seeking a Bachelor’s Degree after completing DMACC. Details of the new and unique collaboration will be announced at the DMACC Urban Campus. This is the first community college – university 2+2 relationship located in a majority-minority college or campus in Iowa.
