Fighting Cancer with a Smile: Alumna Launches Brighter Magazine to Serve Women With Hope
When DBU alumna Helen Bowles ('99) crossed the stage to receive her degree in graphic design and visual communications, she never imagined that one day she would launch a national lifestyle magazine for women affected by cancer.
When Joseph Arze (‘20) first came to campus, he didn’t like coffee, nor did he have any interest in trying it. That changed after the Coffeehouse at DBU opened in 2018. Joseph recalls that the warm atmosphere and meaningful conversations with the staff played a major role in eventually convincing him to give coffee a try.
