The Bakersfield College
(BC) Delano Campus mission is to empower our Delano area students by providing
ready access to “…the high quality
education necessary for our socially and ethnically diverse students--whether
they be vocational, transfer-oriented, developmental, or some combination of
these--to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
(Renegade 2012).”
The Delano Campus is responsible for quality instruction and services that include the unit’s strategic initiatives:
-
Improve Delano area student access, retention, and success
-
Provide effective learning and earning pathways for Delano area students
-
Support student learning through appropriate technology
-
Support student learning through streamlined systems and processes
The Delano Campus provides the community with local access to Bakersfield College programs and services. Our students live in Delano and the rural communities of Northern Kern and Southern Tulare counties. We often are the only pathway for these students to obtain academic and occupational success. The Campus Director is responsible for advocating programs and services that meet the needs of this community. The Delano Campus has instruction onsite and by interactive video and audio from the BC Panorama Campus. Student and instructional support services include Counseling, Financial Advising, Educational Advising, Assessment, Testing, Computer Lab, ESL Tutoring, and Admissions and Registration. A partnership with the Delano College Campus Foundation (a community support group) makes possible funding for scholarships; books and other campus enhancement purchases. The DCC Foundation’s philosophy is -- “No student will be turned away for lack of ability to pay.” They also provide recognition for outstanding service by faculty and regularly budget money for special projects to improve facilities and instruction.
