Spring is in swing at Del Mar College, and with it comes new possibilities, new faces and pride in our accomplishments.

 

On April 24, the Board of Regents will get a "look behind the curtain" as they walk through the nearly-completed expansion to our Fine Arts facilities for Drama, Radio/TV, and Art programs. The beautiful new facilities include a full proscenium theatre, classroom and lab space, a radio/television studio, and much more.  

 

See below for more good news, and have a great Spring!
