Student Handbook
Welcome from the President
I want to welcome you to Delta College, where your success is our primary goal. In
joining Delta, you are part of a community that focuses on you, the student, its primary
mission. We have become known as one of America’s leading community colleges not because
of our innovation and leadership, but because our faculty and staff are here to work
with students all the way through graduation. Everyone at Delta is committed to your
success and to your becoming a graduate and well-rounded citizen not only of the Great
Lakes Bay Region, but the country as well, who make a difference.
We are proud that Delta and its graduates are the lifeblood of the region’s economy
and thought leadership. Our current students are the nurses, teachers, doctors, skilled
tradesmen, business leaders, and politicians of tomorrow. We at Delta are here for
you.
I hope that you take pride also in the fact that in addition to quality academic programs,
Delta offers the region other learning opportunities through Quality Public Broadcasting,
the Planetarium and Corporate Services. Please take advantage of all we have to offer.
I trust you will enjoy your Delta experience. And on behalf of our Board of Trustees, students, faculty, staff, and administration, welcome to Delta College.
Dr. Michael Gavin
Delta College President
