March 2013
Del Mar Colleges enhanced its relevance across the national and global arena while maintaining a local focus for the 2011-2012 academic year. Several faculty members achieved state and national recognition for publishing seminal works in history, cultural and children’s literature, mathematics and health science. Instructional programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiologic Technology and General Education Development received renewed accreditation or achieved 100% pass rates for student certification. The College began construction on a $10.4 million addition to our Fine Arts Complex to house the Sue Sellors Finley Theatre and a major expansion for our Drama program. In the Occupational and Technical area, we accepted two U. S. Navy training aircraft for our Aviation Maintenance program. We opened a Veterans Center on the West Campus to expand services for our military students and families. The Del Mar College Foundation met its largest fund raising challenge to date, raising over $2.6 million for student scholarships and program enhancements. I sincerely appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bouligny for believing in Del Mar College and investing in our students. For the first time in the College’s history, this publication incorporates the achievements of the DMC Development, Foundation and Alumni operations in order to give you a comprehensive view of the impact the College has on our students, our community and beyond. I invite you to review other highlights and financial data in this publication. If you have any questions, please contact me.
