TODAY! At Delgado's fine campus in city park, from 6 – 8 p.m., a free Final Cut Pro X demonstration will be taught in the DMEC computer lab.
With schools located throughout Louisiana, the 90 year old Delgado Community College is a shining example of the potential and impact a community college can have on a student’s life. Its student body is increasing rapidly as students realize the importance this two year educational institution can make.
The college offers a tour of the city of New Orleans, which provides information about the rich and deep history of the city. The tour guides must be licensed which is not mandated by every tour. Seven years ago the school established a Quality Enhancement Plan to improve the performance of their students. Seven years later, the QEP is working well and enhancing the lives and education of Louisiana.
For this upcoming fall semester 2012, the University of New Orleans has helped relieve the over populated Delgado of their crowding by setting aside five classrooms on their location.
Delgado, unlike other schools, has a chancellor instead of a president. A new chancellor was recently named and met with the schools' students.
In news regarding professors, Mrs. Susan Hague received the Fulbright grant to teach in a foreign country. She will be leaving her job as a speech professor to educate children in India.
Another professor making an impact on the local community is Fine Arts and Music Philosopher and Professor is Mr. Peter Cho, who was interviewed on his stance on music and racial harmony especially through jazz. Mr. Cho focused and added to the life and legend of jazz musician Luis Armstrong.
Delgado graduates can expect a joyful career. Alumni have made impacts on local and surrounding communities and have gone so far as to make the states' board of governors.
According to our research, Delgado's top three most popular degrees are in Business Administration, Liberal Arts, and Nursing.
In response to rapid expansion, Delgado is also adding to their curriculum including one of their newer programs: Service Learning. Service Learning gives back to the community while at the same time students earn a grade and college credit. It is this abstract and creative approach to learning that makes their students so successful. The school has also added a Digital Media Education Center or, DMEC, which teaches students of all abilities ranging from beginner to expert.
The schools baseball field, Kirsch-Rooney Stadium, is 55 years old and isn't named after the Delgado Dolphins. Instead it was dedicated to Cyril Kirsch and Robert Rooney, residents of the surrounding Lakeview Louisiana area. Another interesting aspect of Delgado, is their kindness and help for the disabled which is seen in their rehabilitation center which has been helping the handicapped for decades.

Cerro Coso Community College
Cerro Coso is one of three exceptional colleges offered to high school (or GED equivalent) graduates in the Kern Community College District in California. The focus of this post is on Mammoth Lakes- a community college that offers magnificent on campus housing for their students. The housing is often better than other on campus housing, in regards to price, safety, convenience, and scenery. The scenery that students enjoy in their on campus house at Mammoth Lakes is incredible.
Located in Mammoth Lakes, California, Cerro Coso Community College offers on campus housing for their students. The Eastern Sierra College Center serves many different counties with a focus centered in either Bishop or Mammoth Lakes. Mammoth Lakes community college offers on campus housing to its students so that they can be close to campus and focus on their studies. The Mammoth Lakes in Cerro Coso community college offer housing for their students but many are frustrated because of how quickly available rooms are taken. Many community colleges do not offer on campus dorms or housing, usually because they are located in the middle of large cities and this can be detrimental to the non-traditional students college experience. However, having a community college with housing on campus is a great aspect to keep in mind when searching for community colleges. The Eastern Sierra College Center gives students the opportunity to study in the classroom or online, so that mothers, full-time workers, or non-traditional students can get their education at the lowest opportunity cost.
On campus many programs of study are offered such as Human Services as well as Liberal Art's degrees in English, Science, Arts and Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Nursing and Physical Education are other areas of study that the community college student can receive their degree in.
Located in a beautiful mountain town, South Gateway student apartments give all the benefits of a four year degree at the cost of a two year stay. The scenery is magnificent because the apartments are surrounded by snow capped mountains and wonderful weather. Their is a computer lab, pool table, and family-style dinner nights available to the residents. The apartments come fully renovated with plasma televisions, wonderful bathrooms, a kitchen, and wireless internet. In addition the houses have balconies so that the students can fully take in the breath-taking scenery that surrounds them. Personally, I would spend many nights on the balcony, in perfect weather, studying and breathing fresh air. The students apartments seem very luxurious especially at such an affordable price and the fact that the apartments are in a prime location to campus. The apartments are under the management of Mammoth Lakes Foundation who have been doing an excellent job of making sure that their students enjoy their stay on the wonderfully located on-campus apartments. To learn more about the quality and convenience that Mammother Lakes students get via their apartments visit mammothstudentapartments.org
One rumor that surrounds community colleges is that they are not as academically challenging or as much fun as a regular four year schooling. The Cerro Coso Community College, especially the one in Mammoth Lakes makes that statement false. One thing is for sure, if you are a high school graduate or have an equivalent G.E.D. there are other options than a standard four year college. Just because your education if from a community college does not mean it isn't a respectable degree and you will enjoy yourself and the college experience if you make the right decision. This community college also offers online classes and has been teaching students online since 1997.
