What do you love most about DWU?: DWU runs in my blood (My dad has worked here for almost 30 years)! I grew up attending many DWU events, and especially remember the basketball games at the Corn Palace. This campus has always felt like home. I greatly appreciate the experiences I received here as an undergraduate student and truly appreciate the community that exists here on campus.
