National Crime Victims’ Rights Week will be held April 21st-27th, but Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) is having events next week, with one set in Perry.

DMACC will be at the Perry VanKirk Center on Wednesday from 3-7pm. According to DMACC, there will be graphic design student giveaways, crime victims’ rights historical panels, and public art opportunities.
