Rob's Retirement

Entry from Chris & Denise Vernon

Rob, after 23 years of true dedication and inspirational leadership at DMACC, you have helped shape minds, inspire hearts, and strengthen our community (and Iowa) in ways that will echo for generations. You’ve been a guiding light—nurturing knowledge, fostering growth, and building numerous bridges between academia and the community. Pat and you have served more than a leadership role—it’s been a tangible gift to every student, colleague, and neighbor you’ve touched. Congratulations on this amazing journey and may your retirement be as rich and rewarding as the lives you’ve helped shape.
