Lanterns - 2025

Welcome to the latest issue of Lanterns, the University of Dubuque's magazine that offers guiding lights of encouragement, affirmation, and purpose. We invite you to read the magazine below and view the UD community through the lens of a mosaic.

In an excerpt from the issue, University President Travis L. Frampton, PhD, wrote, "Each article, each photo, each story reflects a single, individual piece-a tesserae-whether it is the work of a faculty member, the determination of a student, the generosity of an alum, or the energy of a new initiative. None of these pieces tells the full story on its own. But together, they reveal something remarkable and magnificent. They reveal the ongoing transformation of a university that dares to gather broken and beautiful pieces into a great whole that serves the Mission."
